US consumer prices jump in July, pushed by autos

New vehicle prices rose 0.8 percent in July and new cars jumped 2.3 percent in the month, according to the data.
Rent rose just 0.2 percent, and medical services were up 0.5 percent — the same increase posted in June — while airline fares increased 5.4 percent.
