Consumer Prices Up On Gas, Clothing
U.S. consumer prices rose 0.4% in March as the cost of gasoline and clothing climbed, the Labor Department said Wednesday.
The rise was in line with expectations but notably higher than February’s 0.1% increase.
Gasoline prices shot up 3.6% last month while the cost of clothing increased by 1%.
Core consumer prices, excluding food and energy, rose 0.3% in March, representing the biggest inflation gain in a year.
