Inflation rises faster than expected in January as high prices persist

The Labor Department released the closely watched January consumer price index report Tuesday, revealing just how hot inflation was running last month.

The Labor Department said Tuesday that the consumer price index, a broad measure of the price of everyday goods including gasoline, groceries and rent, rose 0.3% in January from the previous month, more than expected.

Prices climbed 3.1% from the same time last year, which also came in above the 2.9% expectation from Refinitiv economists.

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
