For the first time since last month, inflation in the United States rested since August since, although prices continued to rise, they were at a slower pace than in previous months. Ending the month of April, the consumer price index rose 8.3%, reported the Bureau of Labor Statistics, giving a higher result than economists had expected. In March a decrease of 8.5% was registered, being the highest level in the last 40 years. An increase of 0.3% in the month of April, which adjusted for seasonal fluctuations, is less than the 1.2% registered in the month of March. Without taking food and energy into account, the increase in inflation was 0.6%.
