First modification:
The Federal Reserve's (Fed, US central bank) goal of reaching 2% in its inflation data continues to be hampered. This time, the increase in rent and food prices heated up the US economy and brought the annual figure for December to 3.4%. Those gains surpassed the previous monthly increase of 0.1% and annual inflation of 3.1% in November.
