• CPI report shows annual U.S. headline inflation rate of 3.7% — a 14-month high

  The numbers: U.S. consumer prices leaped 0.6% in August — the biggest increase in 14 months — largely because of higher oil prices. Yet inflation more broadly did not appear to show worrying signs. If energy and food are set aside, so-called core inflation rose a smaller 0.3% in August, the consumer price index showed.
  
  That was a tick above Wall Street expectations, however, and cast a negative tone over financial markets. The core rate has increased a slower 0.2% in the prior two months.
  
  The yearly rate of inflation moved up to 3.7% last month from 3.2% in July and a 27-month low of 3% in June.
  
  The annual rate of core inflation, for its part, decelerated to 4.3% from 4.7% and touched the lowest level in 22 months.

  Thousands more are still missing after torrential rains from Cyclone Daniel caused two dams to burst, unleashing catastrophic floods on the coastal city of Derna and nearby areas.
