The government said the March Consumer
Price Index (CPI), the broadest measure of price pressures at the consumer
level, rose a modest 0.1 percent, matching consensus forecasts, and

The core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy items, rose 0.2
percent compared to a 0.3 percent rise the prior month.
