Let's break down the key economic indicators you're interested in:

Consumer Price Index (CPI)

The Consumer Price Index measures the average change in prices paid by urban consumers for a basket of goods and services. Here are the latest numbers ¹:

- *March 2025 CPI*: Fell 0.1% seasonally adjusted, and rose 2.4% over the last 12 months not seasonally adjusted

- *Core CPI (excluding food and energy)*: Increased 0.1% in March, and 2.8% over the year

Jobless Claims

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the latest jobless claims data. However, the unemployment rate was reported at 4.2% in March 2025

Impact on Financial Markets

These indicators significantly shape market movements. The CPI and jobless claims data can influence the Federal Reserve's decisions on interest rates, which in turn affect the economy and financial markets ².
