一 | WASHINGTON -- U.S. wholesale prices rose last month at the fastest pace since April, suggesting that inflationary pressures remain despite a year and a half of higher interest rates.The Labor Department reported Wednesday that its producer price index — which measures inflation before it hits consumers — climbed 2.2% from a year earlier. That was up from a 2% uptick in August.On a month-to-month basis, producer prices rose 0.5% from August to September, down from 0.7% from July to August.Excluding volatile food and energy prices, so-called core inflation rose 2.7% in September from a year earlier and 0.3% from August. The Federal Reserve and many outside economists pay particular attention to core prices as a good signal of where inflation might be headed.Wholesale prices have been rising more slowly than consumer prices, raising hopes that inflation may continue to ease as producer costs make their way to the consumer. But Wednesday's numbers, driven by an uptick in the price of goods, came in higher last month than economists had expected. Wholesale energy prices surged 3.3% from August to September, and food prices rose 0.9% after tumbling 0.5% from July to August.Last year, inflation reached highs not seen in four decades, prompting the Fed to raise interest rates aggressively. The central bank has boosted its benchmark rate 11 times since March 2022. Those higher borrowing costs have helped cool inflation and slow a still-solid job market.There are growing expectations that the Fed may decide to leave interest rates alone for the rest of the year. On Monday, two Fed officials suggested that the central bank may leave its key rate unchanged at its next meeting in three weeks, helping touch off a rally in bonds and stocks.Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, said last month’s higher producer prices “likely do not change the outlook for Fed policy. Our baseline remains that rates are at a peak. For the Fed, geopolitical developments will be an additional risk factor which will likely keep policymakers proceeding cautiously going forward.″In the meantime, the economy has remained sturdier than expected. Optimism is rising that the Fed may pull off a ''soft landing'' — raising rates just enough to tame inflation without tipping the economy into a deep recession.On Thursday, the Labor Department will issue its closely watched consumer price index for September. Last month, the department reported that compared with 12 months earlier, core consumer prices in August rose at the smallest pace in nearly two years.。

三 | 参考消息网9月14日报道 据埃菲社圣保罗13日报道，巴西总统博索纳罗表示，如果自己在10月的选举中失利，就将退出政坛。
四 | 根据民意调查结果，他目前的支持率落后于前总统卢拉。报道称，博索纳罗12日晚在接受一档播客节目采访时说：“如果是上帝的旨意，我会继续（担任总统职务）。如果没有，我会递出交接棒并告老还乡。因为，在我这个年龄（67岁），如果我的政治生涯在今年12月31日结束，我在地球上无事可做。”巴西总统博索纳罗报道称，这位在一年前宣称“只有上帝”才能将其赶下台的总统的此番言论较为温和，显然是为了在两极分化的选举之前吸引中间选民。根据12日公布的一项民调，前总统卢拉获得的投票意向为46%，领先博索纳罗15个百分点。（编译/韩超）返回搜狐，查看更多责任编辑：
