On Wednesday the Labour Department is expected to report that in December the consumer price index rose 2.8% from a year ago, according to economists surveyed by FactSet, up from a 2.7% yearly increase in November. It would be the third straight rise, after inflation fell to a 3 1/2 year low of 2.4% in September. The uptick could fuel ongoing concerns among many economists and in financial markets that inflation has gotten stuck above the Fed's 2% target.
