The annual inflation rate in the United States reached 3.0% for the twelve months ending in September, compared to 2.9% in the previous period, according to data from the US Department of Labor released on October 24, 2025. Statements from Federal Reserve officials indicate a tendency toward lowering interest rates at the December meeting as a risk management step, even though inflation remains above the central bank's 2% target.
