Inflation takes a March tumble at the wholesale level

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:16:07 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Inflation’s grip on businesses loosened greatly in March, raising hopes that companies and consumers will suffer less from high prices as 2023 rolls on.The U.S. government said plunging energy prices pulled the producer price index down 0.5% in March from February.
