Chile August CPI jumps 0.6% m/m, annual inflation accelerates to 4.1%

Chile's August CPI rose 0.6% m/m, up from 0.1% in July, pushing annual inflation to 4.1% and year-to-date to 3.6%. Airline tickets, meat, potatoes, and gasoline led the surge. The acceleration suggests persistent price pressures, potentially complicating the central bank's easing path.
