US Consumer Prices Dip In March But ‘Verizon Effect’ Leaves Inflation At 13-Month Highs

By Kurt Osterberg · On April 11, 2018

Consumer prices dipped MoM 0.1% in March (the biggest drop in a year)…

 

But as the distortions of the “Verizon effect” fade from the numbers, annualized CPI YoY rose to 2.4% – the highest since Feb 2017.

Additionally, Shelter Inflation jumped from 3.1% to 3.3%…

 

How does this translate into inflation pressure at the micro level? The following heat map shows where inflation is “hottest” by corporate sector.
