The Labor Department released its Consumer Price Index report Tuesday, showing prices for Americans continued to increase last month as the war with Iran continues. Consumer prices rose 3.8% in April from a year ago, and were up 0.6% from the month prior. Energy costs, including gasoline, increased last month, as did the cost of food at a rate not seen since last December. Food costs increased 0.5% last month, and gasoline was up 5.4%.
