Inflation likely worsened in September in one of the last price reports the government will issue before the midterm elections that have been heavily defined by concerns over affordability.
Consumer prices are forecast to have risen 3. 6% in September compared with a year earlier, up from 3. 4% in August, according to a survey of economists by data provider FactSet.
The Labor Department will issue the report Wednesday morning.
