"Good news," the graphic of Biden in aviator sunglasses reads. "Inflation has fallen by 45% since its summer peak under President Biden."

The U.S. Department of Labor said Wednesday that the Consumer Price Index, a broad measure of the price for everyday costs including gasoline, groceries and rents, rose 0.1% in March from the previous month, down from 0.4% in February. Prices climbed 5% on an annual basis, down sharply from February's 6% increase and the smallest rise in nearly two years.

Those figures were both lower than forecasts by Refinitiv economists.

Still, inflation remains about three times higher than the pre-pandemic average, underscoring the persistent financial burden placed on millions of U.S. households by high prices.
