<p>The March CPI data came in slightly higher than economists’ expectations. While analysts anticipated the year-over-year CPI to rise to a 3.4% pace, the actual increase was 3.5%. <br><br>The monthly inflation pace was expected to ease to 0.3% from February’s 0.4%, but it remained steady at 0.4%. Similarly, core inflation was predicted to rise at a slightly slower 0.3% monthly rate, but it maintained its 0.4% pace from the previous month. <br><br>As anticipated, higher oil prices exerted upward pressure on the inflation data, with gasoline prices significantly contributing to the energy index’s rise.</p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
