US annual consumer inflation posts largest gain in three years as prices increase broadly

WASHINGTON, May 12 (Reuters) - U.S. consumer inflation increased further in April, with the annual rate posting its largest gain in three years, heightening political risks for President Donald Trump and his Republican party ahead of ​November's midterm elections.
The back-to-back rises in the Consumer Price Index reported by the Labor Department on Tuesday, reflected strong gains in the costs of energy products amid the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. ‌Food prices surged last month and inflation also spilled over to the services sector, with higher rental costs and airfares.
