Precios al consumidor en EE. UU. alcanzan su nivel más alto en casi tres años

El Departamento de Comercio de EE. UU. informó que los precios al consumidor aumentaron bruscamente en el país, alcanzando su nivel más alto en casi tres años. Este aumento se debió principalmente al alza en los costos de energía vinculados al conflicto en Irán, que provocó un incremento significativo en los precios de la gasolina.

El Índice de Precios al Consumidor subió un 3,8%, marcando el mayor aumento anual desde 2023. Los precios de los alimentos también aumentaron un 2,9% interanual, influenciados por el conflicto en Irán, las políticas comerciales y las condiciones climáticas. Los precios al productor crecieron un 6% anual, con un salto del 15,6% en los precios de la gasolina, lo que indica posibles presiones inflacionarias para los consumidores. La confianza del consumidor disminuyó ligeramente debido a los altos precios de la gasolina y la inflación persistente, a pesar de las recientes ganancias en el mercado bursátil.
