  • Prices rose 2.3% in April from a year earlier, according to the Department of Labor, the smallest change since Feb. 2021.
  • On a core basis, or excluding volatile food and energy prices, the CPI rose at a 2.8% rate.
  • Energy prices decreased 3.7%.
  • Monthly inflation ticked up, with the CPI rising 0.2% in April from March, and core CPI up 0.2%.
Better than normal, when including food and energy (and some other stuff people actually buy regularly) makes it look worse.

Energy prices falling 3.7% will be a nice win for the Admin and something they can push big time

And they should. Normally, I don't think administrations deserve much credit, but Trump vs Biden is a huge difference on energy development.
