#CPI&JoblessClaimsWatch
Here's a quick update on the latest U.S. economic data:
CPI (March 2025):
Monthly CPI fell by 0.1%, with annual inflation at 2.4%, showing signs of cooling.
Core CPI rose 0.1%, with a 2.8% year-over-year increase — inflation remains sticky but controlled.
Jobless Claims:
Initial claims rose slightly to 223,000, still historically low.
It’s the sixth straight week under 226,000, pointing to a strong labor market.
