Economic and financial indicators

摘要

Consumer prices in America rose by a seasonally adjusted 0.4% in November, leaving them 1.8% higher than a year earlier. The index of "core" prices, which excludes food and fuel, was unchanged from October. Industrial production rose by 0.8% in November. Car production was up and other industries also enjoyed healthy increases in output. America's current-account deficit widened from $98 billion to $108 billion (or 3% of GDP) in the third quarter.
