The pace of price increases in the US eased slightly last month as the cost of gasoline, used cars and clothing declined.
The annual pace of inflation was 8.3% in April, up from 8.5% in the previous month, the Labor Department said.
That was the first drop in months, but the inflation rate remained at a multi-decade high.
The cost of groceries, housing and items such as airline tickets continued to rise, putting pressure on policymakers to curb price hikes.
