US inflation rate cools in April, Goldman Sachs says early inventory delays inflation crisis

BlockBeats News: On May 13th, the annual inflation rate in the United States cooled in April, as businesses struggled to adapt to the impact of Trump's unpredictable trade policies this month. The monthly inflation rate recorded 0.2%, higher than March's -0.1%, roughly in line with economists' expectations. In April, Trump's tariffs caused market turbulence throughout the month. Retailers have been working hard to maintain price stability for their customers, but they warn that they will eventually have to raise prices. Goldman Sachs economists suggest that companies' advance inventory before tariffs take effect may moderately delay the transfer of higher prices to consumers. (Golden Ten)
