Annual inflation in the US slowed to 3.2%

Prices for goods in the United States in October increased by 3.2% compared to October last year, according to a report from the US Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is less than in September, when the annual inflation rate was 3.7%.

In monthly terms prices did not change.

The indicators turned out to be better than the forecasts of economists, who assumed that annual price growth would be 3.3%, CNN notes.
