#CPI&JoblessClaimsWatch Here’s a quick summary of what’s going on with the US CPI and Jobless Claims as of now:

1. CPI (Consumer Price Index):

For March 2025, CPI decreased slightly by 0.1% month-over-month.

Year-over-year inflation sits at 2.4%, suggesting inflation is cooling.

Core CPI (excluding food and energy) rose 0.1% in March, with a yearly rate of 2.8% — indicating underlying inflation is still sticky, but not surging.

2. Jobless Claims:

Initial jobless claims rose by 4,000 to 223,000 last week.

This is still historically low and signals a resilient labor market, despite slight weekly fluctuations.

It’s the sixth week in a row with claims below 226,000.

In short, inflation seems to be gradually easing, and the labor market remains steady — a combo that keeps recession fears in check for now.
