Prices Decline

This article was written by in Economy. Add a comment.


The Consumer Price Index declined 0.1 percent last month but the core CPI (excluding food and energy costs) rose 0.2 percent. This seems to mean that while energy costs went down, perhaps rebounding from highs due to natural catastrophes last year, those costs didn’t decline enough to bring prices of other items down.
