The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was unchanged in
September on a seasonally adjusted basis after rising 0.1 percent in August,
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months,
the all items index increased 1.7 percent before seasonal adjustment.

Increases in the indexes for shelter and food were offset by declines in the
indexes for energy and used cars and trucks to result in the seasonally

gasoline index declined 2.4 percent. The food index increased 0.1 percent in
September after being unchanged in each of the prior 3 months.
