Original: Inflation slams consumer sentiment to 4-month low

Rising prices are weighing on how consumers view current conditions and their outlook, a warning sign for retailers who depend on consumer spending. The drop adds to concerns that persistent price pressures are eroding purchasing power despite broader economic resilience.
