Andrii Dodonov/iStock via Getty Images By Jennifer Nash Inflation surged to its highest level in nearly two years in March as the headline Consumer Price Index reached 3.3% year-over-year. This marks a sharp acceleration from February’s 2.4% reading, though it landed slightly below the 3.4% consensus forecast. On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose 0.9%, marginally lower than the expected 1.0% but still representing the largest monthly gain since 2022. The spike was overwhelmingly driven by a 10.9% increase in energy costs. Specifically, the gasoline index skyrocketed 21.2%, the largest monthly increase on record, accounting for approximately three-quarters of the total monthly gain in the all-items index. On a "core basis," which excludes volatile food and energy prices, the data showed more moderation. Core prices rose 2.6% year-over-year and 0.2% month-over-month. Both figures came in just below their respective forecasts of 2.7% and 0.3%. Here is the introduction from the BLS summary, which leads with the seasonally adjusted monthly data: The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.9 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis in March, after rising 0.3 percent in February, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 3.3 percent before seasonal adjustment. The index for energy rose 10.9 percent in March, led by a 21.2-percent increase in the index for gasoline which accounted for nearly three quarters of the monthly all items increase. The shelter index also increased in March, rising 0.3 percent. The index for food was unchanged over the month as the index for food away from home rose 0.2 percent, while the index for food at home fell 0.2 percent. The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in March. Indexes that increased over the month include airline fares, apparel, household furnishings and operations, education, and new vehicles. Conversely, the indexes f...

SlavkoSereda/iStock via Getty Images Inflation in the U.S. soared last month, the Labor Department reported Friday, with gasoline prices posting their largest monthly increase in nearly 60 years due to the Middle East war that has pushed average retail prices above $4/gal for the first time in more than three years. The Consumer Price Index jumped 0.9% in March, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said, highlighted by a 21.2% month-to-month surge in gasoline prices, the largest since the government started consistently tracking the data in 1967; other motor fuels, which include diesel, also soared by a monthly record 30.8%. While the U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreed this week might offer some short-term relief for consumers, analysts are warning that prices will continue to rise . "There's so much uncertainty still around what this ceasefire means, and when and how fuel starts to flow through the Strait of Hormuz again, retailers are not going to drop prices sharply in the face of those unknowns," Shon Hiatt, director of the Zage Business of Energy Initiative at the USC Marshall School of Business, told Reuters. Retail fuel prices typically rise much faster than they fall, as fuel sellers will work through higher-priced inventory and seek a higher degree of certainty of future supply to avoid losses, Hiatt said. Regardless of whether the ceasefire holds, insurance costs will remain higher than before the war, and ships will be hesitant to cross the Strait of Hormuz, StoneX energy strategist Alex Hodes said in a note. "Markets still will be elevated throughout the rest of the year with an elevated geopolitical risk premium," Hodes wrote, adding that diesel and jet fuel especially will remain on edge, as supply has been tighter than other refined products. "The combination of market shocks, the potential for prolonged disruption, and shifting expectations creates the conditions for higher prices to spread, especially as initial energy cost increases ripple through goods and ...
