Data released by the US Department of Labor on the 10th showed that the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell 0.1% month-on-month and rose 2.4% year-on-year in March this year. Among them, egg prices rose 5.9% month-on-month and 60.4% year-on-year, showing that the shortage of eggs in the United States has not eased.
Data showed that after excluding the volatile food and energy prices, the core CPI in March rose 0.1% month-on-month and 2.8% year-on-year, and the year-on-year increase was still far higher than the 2% long-term target set by the Federal Reserve. But inflation has shown signs of easing. CPI rose 0.2% month-on-month and 2.8% year-on-year in February.
However, observers believe that the US government's policies such as imposing tariffs may push up inflation in the coming months, thereby affecting the Federal Reserve's monetary policy path.
A poll released by Reuters and Ipsos Group on the 8th showed that most Americans are preparing for rising prices of daily consumer goods due to the US tariff policy.
