April Inflation Rises Less Than Expected Amid Tariff Uncertainty
April Inflation Rises Less Than Expected Amid Tariff Uncertainty

US inflation showed unexpected moderation in April, with the Consumer Price Index rising just 0.2% monthly and 2.3% annually—the softest yearly reading in over four years. Core CPI, stripping out volatile food and energy components, mirrored the 0.2% monthly gain while annualizing at 2.8%.
The muted response to recent tariff hikes reflects historical patterns of delayed passthrough. When duties on $200B of Chinese goods jumped from 10% to 25% in May 2019, price pressures took months to materialize. Markets now watch for similar latency effects as new trade barriers take hold.
