美国9月通胀上升，原因是消费者为汽油和其他商品支付了更多钱。这一上升强化了经济学家对美联储（Fed）可能在12月加息的预期。衡量商品和服务价格变动的个人消费支出（PCE）价格指数9月上涨0.5%。8月该指数上涨0.3%。据路透社报道，美国商务部经济分析局（BEA）表示，9月的涨幅符合经济学家的预期。美国9月通胀率升至3.6%。
US inflation rose in September as consumers paid more for gasoline and other goods. The rise strengthened economists' expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) could increase interest rates in December. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, which measures changes in the prices of goods and services, increased by 0.5% in September. It had risen by 0.3% in August. The September increase was in line with economists' expectations, according to the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), as noted by Reuters.US inflation rises to 3.6% in SeptemberUS PCE inflation rose by 3.6% in the 12 months through September, up from 3.4% in August.
截至9月的12个月里，美国PCE通胀率上升3.6%，高于8月的3.4%。这高于美联储2%的通胀目标。核心PCE通胀率9月上涨0.3%，该指标不包括食品和能源价格，因为这些价格变化可能很快。8月核心PCE通胀率也上涨0.3%。美国经济分析局（BEA）表示，8月数据从此前估计的0.2%上修。DoorDash将以170亿美元收购Instacart，以扩展杂货配送业务。
This was higher than the Federal Reserve's 2% inflation target. Core PCE inflation, which does not include food and energy prices because they can change quickly, rose by 0.3% in September. It also increased by 0.3% in August. The August figure was revised up from the earlier estimate of 0.2%, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).DoorDash to acquire Instacart in $17 billion deal to expand grocery delivery businessCore PCE inflation rose by 3.1% in the 12 months through September, compared with 3.0% in August.
截至9月的12个月里，核心PCE通胀率上升3.1%，而8月为3.0%。该指标受到密切关注，因为它排除了经常不稳定的食品和能源价格。美联储利率维持不变。美联储周三将基准利率维持在3.75%-4.00%不变。不过，据路透社报道美联储10月会议的消息，这家央行承认通胀仍然高企。美联储主席凯文·沃什表示，能源价格及相关成本近几周再次上涨。他说，央行需要确保某些部门的价格上涨不会蔓延到更广泛的经济领域。
This measure is closely watched because it excludes the often-unstable prices of food and energy. Fed interest rate remains unchangedThe Federal Reserve left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3.75%-4.00% on Wednesday. However, the central bank acknowledged that inflation remained high, according to Reuters' report on the Fed's October meeting. Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh said energy prices and related costs had increased again in recent weeks. He said the central bank needed to ensure that price increases in some sectors did not spread across the wider economy.
路透社报道，他还强调了将通胀预期控制在可控范围内的重要性。随着市场权衡美联储利率前景和12月加息可能性，美国国债收益率下跌；美联储12月加息可能性上升。根据芝加哥商品交易所集团的“美联储观察工具”，金融市场预计美联储12月加息的可能性为84.6%。高于目标的通胀率强化了再次加息的预期。美国经济与消费者支出增长。

这些通胀数据被纳入政府关于7月至9月季度国内生产总值（GDP）的预估值报告。路透社报道，该报告显示，美国经济在该季度按年率计算增长3.4%。美国9月消费者支出增长0.5%，此前8月增长0.9%。消费者支出占美国经济活动的三分之二以上，是衡量经济强度的重要指标。消费者支出增长部分反映了家庭支付的价格上涨。
The report showed that the US economy grew at an annualised rate of 3.4% during the quarter, according to Reuters.US consumer spending rose by 0.5% in September, following a 0.9% increase in August. Consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of US economic activity, making it an important measure of the economy's strength. The increase in consumer spending partly reflected higher prices paid by households.
路透社报道，经通胀调整后，9月消费者支出保持不变，这表明家庭总体上并未增加购买量。尽管月度增速放缓，消费者支出在7月至9月季度仍按年率计算增长3.8%。但美国经济分析局表示，经通胀调整后的支出在9月持平，这表明随着美国经济进入第四季度，增长势头减弱。
After adjusting for inflation, consumer spending remained unchanged in September, suggesting that households did not increase the amount they purchased overall, according to Reuters. Despite the monthly slowdown, consumer spending increased at an annualised rate of 3.8% during the July-September quarter. However, inflation-adjusted spending was flat in September, pointing to weaker momentum as the US economy entered the fourth quarter, according to the BEA.
