#CPI&JoblessClaimsWatch
March CPI dipped 0.1% month-over-month, with annual inflation at 2.4%, signaling a gradual cool-down. Core CPI rose 0.1%, now at 2.8% year-over-year—still sticky, but stable.
Jobless claims ticked up to 223,000, yet remain historically low for the sixth straight week, showing labor market strength.
Bottom line: Inflation is easing, jobs are steady, and recession worries stay on pause.
Wondering what this means for markets or the Fed? Let’s talk.
