The Labor Department reports the consumer price index rose last month, reversing a downtrend with a two tenths increase. The CPI stood at 125.6 percent of 1947-49 average, up 1.5 percent from a year ago, driven by housing costs from higher mortgage rates while lower gasoline and food prices kept total costs from hitting new highs.
