Inflation began to slow in April in the United States, due in particular to the fall in gasoline prices which had soared in March due to the war in Ukraine, but remains very high.
In April, over one year, inflation stood at 8.3%, against 8.5% in March, according to the consumer price index (CPI) published on Wednesday by the Labor Department.
Over one month, the price increase was 0.3%, much less than the 1.2% increase recorded the previous month.
