		<description><![CDATA[WASHINGTON — Higher energy prices rippled through the economy in June, helping to drive a bigger-than-expected gain in retail sales.

The sharp rise in wholesale prices — as well as &#8220;core&#8221; prices that exclude food and energy — could fan investors&#8217; fears about inflation. Economists viewed the energy cost hikes as temporary and not the beginning [...]]]></description>
