AI Summary

U.S. inflation has stayed above the Federal Reserve’s 2 percent target for the 65th consecutive month, keeping price growth well above the central bank’s goal. The rise follows heightened energy costs after the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran, which have driven petrol prices higher in August. The persistent inflation level is fueling debate over whether the Fed should maintain its current policy stance or raise interest rates.
