Consumer prices surge 1.1%, worse than feared

updated 44 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Consumer prices shot up in June at the second-fastest pace in 26 years with two-thirds of the surge blamed on soaring energy prices.

The Labor Department reported that consumer prices jumped 1.1 percent last month, much worse than had been expected. Energy prices rocketed upward by 6.6 percent, reflecting big gains for gasoline, home heating oil and natural gas.

The big rise in prices cut deeply into consumers’ earning power with average weekly wages, after adjusting for inflation, dropping by a sharp 0.9 percent in June.
