The annual rate of inflation fell in October to 3.2 percent.

But figures released Wednesday by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that on a monthly basis, between September and October, prices held steady.

The latest data is an indication that inflation is cooling after a monthly increase of 0.4 percent in September, and a promising sign for the Federal Reserve which has been trying to control inflation with historic interest rate hikes. 

The cost of shelter continued to rise in October, offsetting a decline in the gasoline index.
