The U.S. is awaiting the March 2025 Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, set to be released today, to gauge inflation trends. February's CPI showed a 2.8% year-over-year increase. Meanwhile, initial jobless claims fell to 219,000 last week, indicating a slight improvement in the labor market. Federal Reserve officials warn of potential below-trend growth and rising inflation risks, keeping investors and policymakers focused on today’s data for future rate decisions.
