In October, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 3.1% on a year-over-year basis, down from a 3.8% gain in September. The year-over-year deceleration was largely a result of lower prices for gasoline (-7.8%) in October. Excluding gasoline, the CPI rose 3.6% in October, following a 3.7% increase in September.
