“Inflation has come down from its historic highs, though not far enough to stop plaguing the economy just yet. That’s the takeaway from data released yesterday. First, the good news: Prices rose at their slowest pace in nearly two years, having climbed 5 percent in the 12 months that ended in March. The increase is still higher than the 2 percent annual rate that policymakers seek to keep the economy humming — but is down from a peak of 9 percent last summer. The bad news is that other measures — particularly indicators that exclude food and energy prices, which are known as core inflation — tell a more mixed story. In the chart below, you can see that core inflation is more stable than overall inflation and, for that reason, is less prone to misinterpretation. (...) The mixed news suggests that the Fed’s recent moves have worked to tame inflation, but that more action is needed to get price increases down to sustainable levels. Today’s newsletter will break down the data and what the Fed might do next.”
