US inflation up again

Available for over a year

Prices in the US rose to 3.2% compared to July last year, following 13 months of falls after peaking at 9.1 percent last June. The increase is due partly to higher housing and food costs. Although inflation has drifted down from last summer's 40 year high, but it's still well above what the Federal Reserve thinks of as normal prices.
