The #Consumer Price Index rose 3.8% in April from a year earlier, the Labor Dept reported Tuesday, up from a 2.4% annual increase before the conflict started in February & a 3.3% increase in March.
The increase was driven largely by #energy prices, up 3.8% since the previous month. Stripping out volatile food & energy prices, the index rose 2.8% in April.

BBC: Oil at $150 will trigger global recession, says boss of financial giant BlackRock

#Trump's bad decisions are dragging the #USeconomy down. #American friends: how are your #finances right now? Will you punish Trump for basically robbing you?
"The #economy barely grew in the final three months of last year, the Commerce Department said, as it cut its estimate of fourth-quarter growth in half. #Consumer spending, after adjusting for #inflation, was anemic in January, as inflation remained sticky-high. #Hiring has also ground largely to a standstill. And #Americans’ outlook for the economy tumbled after the U.S. and #Israel attacked #Iran, according to a survey of consumer sentiment also released Friday."

“Investors” accounted for 30.2% of home purchases in 2025, nearly double their share at the start of the #pandemic, according to data from Cotality. A report from Realtor.com found the change wasn’t because of a surge of investor activity, but rather a pullback from traditional buyers who could no longer afford today’s prices.

The strain in the #housing market has become a key political issue, & #Trump has raised a number of [impractical] ideas for how to address the costs — like introducing 50-year mortgages, barring Wall Street investors from buying single-family homes & directing Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac to purchase $200 billion in mortgage-backed bonds. His admin has yet to follow through on most of them.

The report is certain to stoke divisions at the #FederalReserve, which holds its next meeting on March 17-18. Some officials appear highly concerned about the health of the #labor market & willing to cut rates to support it, while others seem more focused on the risk posed by #inflation, especially given the conflict in the #MiddleEast.

The number of job openings in December, the most recent data available, fell to its lowest level since Sept 2020.
The #Trump admin’s #immigration crackdown has contributed to slower growth in the supply of #labor. That has made it difficult to determine if a slowdown in job growth is caused by decreasing demand for workers, fewer available job-seekers or a combination of both.

The report dimmed the picture of the #labor market & all but shut down the prospect of a resurgence in growth after an anemic year of hiring that was weighed down by economic uncertainty. Many economists had forecast that employers would shake off their reluctance to hire this year — but not so much.

#Trump promised his reign of terror would magically lead to many new good jobs for #Americans. This was a lie, and the data prove it:
"Preliminary data had indicated that the U.S. #economy added 584,000 #jobs last year. But the Bureau of #Labor Statistics revised that number after it received additional state data and found that the labor market had added 181,000 jobs in all of 2025."

Authored by Cavallo & two colleagues, it finds that “#US #consumers were bearing roughly 43% of the tariff-induced border cost after 7 months, with the remainder absorbed mostly by US firms.” Cavallo said by email that import prices hadn’t fallen much, “which suggests foreign exporters did not reduce their pre-tariff prices enough to shoulder a large share of the burden.″

Alberto Cavallo, an economist at Harvard & the author of a study on the impact of #tariffs [stupidly] cited by #Trump in his op-ed, has found that Trump’s tariffs have boosted overall #inflation by roughly three-quarters of a percentage point.

The impact of the #Trump #tariffs can be more clearly seen in core goods prices, which also exclude food & energy. Before the pandemic, core goods costs typically barely rose — or even fell — each year, but last December they were 1.4% higher than a year earlier. That was the largest increase, outside the pandemic, since 2011.

Annual core #inflation for the final six months of 2025 is higher at 2.6%. That is down from January 2025’s level but about where it was in October 2024. Overall, inflation has leveled off this year, & was 3% in September before the [orchestrated] government #shutdown, the same as it had been in January 2025.

#Trump’s figure for annual #inflation in the past 3 months — which excludes the volatile #food & #energy prices — is low, but reflects data distorted by the [orchestrated] government #shutdown in Oct & Nov, which disrupted the government’s #data collection & forced the agency that compiles the figures to plug in rough estimates in some categories that artificially lowered overall inflation.

CLAIM: “Annual core inflation for the past 3 months has dropped to just 1.4% — far lower than almost anyone, other than me, had predicted.”

#Trump also likes point to solid gains in the #US #StockMarket. He noted that #stocks hit new highs 52 times in 2025. It’s true that the US stock market did well last year. But it underperformed many foreign stock markets. The benchmark S&P 500 index climbed 17% — a nice gain but short of a 71% surge in South Korea, 29% in Hong Kong, 26% in Japan, 22% in Germany & 21% in the UK.

In 2024, the last year of the #Biden presidency, American GDP grew 2.8%, adjusted for #inflation, faster than any wealthy country in the world except Spain. It also expanded at a healthy rate from 2021 through 2023. All while recovering from the pandemic that began under & was made incredibly worse by #Trump.

Here’s a look at the facts around Trump’s assessment of tariffs∶
CLAIM: “Just over one year ago, we were a ‘DEAD’ country. Now, we are the ‘HOTTEST’ country anywhere in the world!’”
THE FACTS: This is a standard statement from #Trump. But the #US #economy was hardly “dead” when Trump returned to office last year. And in Trump’s second term, it’s performed strongly — after getting off to a bumpy start.
