TechFlame News: According to Jinshi, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% month-on-month in January, slightly lower than the 0.3% increase in December and below economists' expectations of 0.3%. Excluding food and energy prices, the core CPI increased 0.3% month-on-month, while the year-on-year CPI rose 2.4%, slowing from 2.7% in December. Despite the easing inflation, a stabilizing labor market may keep the Federal Reserve from changing interest rates for some time.
