The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for March 2025 decreased by 0.1%, indicating a slowdown in inflation. This decline may impact the Federal Reserve's decisions on interest rates.

Initial jobless claims rose by 4,000 to 223,000 for the week ending April 5, in line with economists' expectations. Nevertheless, the numbers remain historically low, reflecting the strength of the labor market.

Continuing claims dropped by 43,000 to 1.85 million, which may indicate an improvement in employment opportunities.

📉 In the markets, S&P 500 futures fell by 1.8% ahead of the data release, while the U.S. dollar index is under pressure near the 103.50 level following weak CPI data.

Stay tuned for more updates on the impact of this data on markets and economic policies.
