Summary
Inflation’s back with a bang as prices surged 0.4% in August — the biggest jump since July — fueled by skyrocketing gas costs that climbed 3.9% alone.

Airfares jumped 2.7%, while global tensions keep fuel prices climbing — making everyday goods more expensive and signaling this could be a longer battle than expected.
