    October 4, 2002

    NEW YORK, Oct 4 (Reuters) - U.S. inflation jumped in September, buoyed by a continued surge in real estate loans and rising industrial commodities prices, a report showed on Friday.

    "The persistent rise in the (index) shows that, even with a subpar economic recovery, U.S. inflationary pressures are in a clear cyclical upswing," ECRI said in its monthly report.

    The annualized growth rate, which smoothes out monthly fluctuations, rose to 25.9 percent in September from 19.5 percent in August.
