US inflation accelerated to 4% in October from 3.7% in September, with price increases spreading beyond fuel and tariff-sensitive goods into services such as healthcare, childcare, restaurants and hotels.

The broader pattern has weakened hopes that inflation would fade automatically as temporary shocks eased. Some Federal Reserve officials now favor consecutive quarter-point increases, while market pricing strongly points to another move in December. Faster tightening would raise borrowing costs for households and businesses.
