  "summary": "The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.4% in August, in line with expectations. The core CPI, which excludes food and energy, was higher than estimated, according to CNBC.\n\nThe monthly CPI increase follows a 0.1% rise in July. The annual CPI reading remained steady at 3.4%.\n\nEconomists at TD Securities expect core CPI to have risen 0.19% month-over-month and 2.3% year-over-year. They attribute the core inflation to be driven by the services segment, while core goods prices acted as a drag.",
