US Annual Inflation Rate Hits 2.3% in April, Lower Than Expected
- The U.S. Annual consumer inflation rate rose 2.3% in April 2025, marking the smallest increase in over four years according to the Labor Department.
- This slowdown followed months of cooling prices that some attribute to partial effects of tariffs and lower costs in travel sectors like airfares and hotels.
- Core prices excluding volatile food and energy climbed 2.8% year-over-year, unchanged from March, while monthly prices rose 0.2%, with increases seen in categories like baby strollers.
- Several companies, including Mattel and Stanley Black & Decker, raised prices due to tariffs, though recent tariff reductions on Chinese imports aim to limit economic damage, with the average tariff now about 18%.
- Economists forecast inflation may rise in coming months as the delayed impact of tariffs takes hold, suggesting ongoing challenges for consumers and the Federal Reserve’s inflation target of 2%.
