All the data so far is showing inflation isn't going away, and is making things tough on the Fed

Quick Glance: Rising Key Fed Inflation Measure in March

In March, inflation remained strong, with an important indicator closely monitored by the Federal Reserve indicating elevated price pressures.

The personal consumption expenditures price index excluding food and energy increased 2.8% from a year ago in March, above expectations.

Both the all-items PCE price gauge and the core index increased by 2.7%, higher than estimates, leading to a positive market reaction.

Markets reacted mildly to the data, with Wall Street set to open higher, while Treasury yields fell and the probability of rate cuts increased slightly.
