- According to a new report released Wednesday by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Consumer Price Index increased in March by 8.6%, measured year-over-year; the largest increase in more than 40 years.
- March’s surge in consumer price inflation is also the twelfth month in a row during which the increase is well above the Federal Reserve’s arbitrary 2 percent inflation target.
- As we’re already seeing, monetary inflation may bring rising wages, but it also brings rising prices for goods and services.
