Headline U.S. consumer price inflation is expected to have slipped back two tenths of a percentage point to a still-bruising 8.1% in September as the Labor Department gets set to publish its latest report. But it was creeping annual growth in August of underlying “core” prices that exclude energy and food that sent markets into tailspin last month – fearing, correctly, that it would push Federal Reserve hawkishness into overdrive.

At the height of the crisis in 2020, AMC’s revenue collapsed by 77% to $1.24 billion against the prior year, and it lost $4.59 billion.
