A long-delayed report released by the Commerce Department on Friday showed consumer prices in the U.S. increased in line with economist estimates in the month of September.
The Commerce Department said its personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index climbed by 0.3 percent in September, matching the growth seen in August along with economist estimates.
The annual rate of growth by the PCE price index ticked up to 2.8 percent in September from 2.7 percent in August, which was also in line with expectations.
