[To learn English] U.S. consumer prices likely increased by the most in 1-1/2 years in the year to November, economists predicted, which would underscore the worsening affordability challenges confronting Americans that have been partly blamed on tariffs on imports. The Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics will not publish month-to-month changes when it releases the delayed Consumer Price Index report for November on Tuesday after the 43-day shutdown of the government prevented the collection of October data. The October CPI release was canceled because the price data could not be collected retroactively. 经济学家预测，截至11月的一年中，美国消费者价格涨幅可能创一年半以来新高，这将凸显美国人面临的日益严峻的消费负担能力挑战，而部分原因被归咎于进口关税。 由于政府停摆43天导致10月份的数据无法收集，劳工部劳工统计局将于周二发布11月份消费者价格指数报告，但该报告将不会公布环比变化。10月份的消费者价格指数报告被取消，原因是无法追溯收集价格数据。 LearnEnglishLeave a remark
