Inflation slows as May CPI rises six tenths, still high
The Labor Department reports May prices up six tenths of one percent, slower than April’s eight tenths, with food costs easing. White House spokesman Powell calls the change a significant improvement and expects further gains, while Republicans dub it devastating inflation. The CPI index sits at 180.60, meaning a 1967 $100 basket now costs $180.60.
