Denver-area inflation increases to 5%. Blame energy costs.
Denver-area inflation rose to 5% in May due to a 15% increase in energy costs since March, with gasoline prices up 24.3% regionally and 40.5% nationally. The U.S. launched airstrikes against Iran after a drone collision near the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting oil transport and contributing to higher gas prices in Colorado.
