Inflation in the United States remains at 3.4% in August and leaves an uncertain path for the Federal Reserve

US inflation remained at 3.4% in August, the same as in July, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This rate is still above the Federal Reserve's target of 2%, but represents a decrease from the 4.2% rate in May. The core inflation rate, which excludes food and energy, decreased to 2.4% from 2.5% in July.
