Energy costs push US consumer inflation above Fed target to 2.2%
US central bank's
Washington - Muslimchronicle
Mounting gasoline prices helped drive US consumer inflation higher in November, pushing the annual measure above the US central bank's target, according to a government report Wednesday.
The news comes as the Federal Reserve is poised to raise interest rates later on Wednesday, the third rate hike of the year, and gives ammunition to those worried about the dangers of inflation.
The Consumer Price Index, which tracks costs for household goods and services, gained 0.4 percent from October, matching analyst expectations.
But the 12-month measure rose 2.2 percent, moving above the Fed's two percent target to the same level recorded in September.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
