Odaily Planet Daily News: The U.S. inflation rate fell to 2.4% in March, a larger-than-expected drop. The Federal Reserve is considering how to respond to Trump's shift in attitude on tariffs. The CPI annual rate released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Thursday was lower than the 2.8% in February and lower than the 2.5% forecast by economists. The data also showed that the core inflation rate rose 2.8% year-on-year in January, lower than the 3.1% level in February and lower than economists' expectations of 3%. The Federal Reserve faces a dilemma: whether to cut interest rates to prevent an economic slowdown that could be triggered by Trump's comprehensive tariffs on U.S. trading partners, or to raise interest rates to prevent inflation from rising.
