NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 12: People shop for vegetables and other foods in Brighton Beach in Brooklyn on May 12, 2026, in New York City. Newly released data from the Labor Department's consumer price index showed that inflation rose 3.8% from April 2025. The rise in prices for fuel, food, and other essentials for millions of Americans comes as a 10-week war with Iran continues to be a drag on both the domestic and international economy.
