The Labor Department is set to release its March report on consumer prices, with analysts expecting a 3.4% increase from a year earlier. The Federal Reserve will also deliver the minutes from its recent interest rate policy meeting, where officials signaled their expectation to cut the rate three times in 2024 despite elevated inflation.
The Labor Department releases its March report on consumer prices Wednesday. Analysts expect inflation at the consumer level rose 3.4% in March from a year earlier. That would be the biggest 12-month increase in consumer prices since December. Inflation has been cooling, but only gradually and fitfully following a string of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve aimed at easing inflation back to the central bank’s 2% target level.
The Federal Reserve delivers the minutes from its most recent interest rate policy meeting Wednesday. At that meeting last month, Fed officials kept their benchmark rate unchanged for a fifth straight time and signaled that they still expected to cut the rate three times in 2024, despite signs that inflation remained elevated at the start of the year. Fed officials noted they still project inflation to continue to cool, though more gradually than they thought just a few months ago.
