(Washington) Inflation slowed sharply in May in the United States, to 4.0% over one year against 4.9% in April, the lowest since March 2021, but still too high for the taste of the American central bank (Fed), which meets Tuesday and Wednesday.


Over one month alone, the rise in consumer prices is 0.1% against 0.4% in April, according to the CPI index published on Tuesday by the Labor Department, and on which pensions are indexed. Inflation over one year is in line with expectations, but is down more than expected over one month, since analysts expected 0.4% over one month, according to MarketWatch consensus.
