But inflation quickened month to month as costs jumped 0.4 percent from July, quadrupling the 0.1 percent registered in the previous month. Inflation remains stubbornly elevated more than five years after prices soared as the economy emerged from the pandemic. Friday's report increases pressure on the inflation-fighters at the Federal Reserve to boost their benchmark interest rate next week, which could lift mortgage and auto loan costs in the months ahead.
