Worries about sudden inflation spikes are keeping investors and economists up at night. Their concerns aren't baseless: Inflation is indeed rising in the United States, government data for producer prices showed Friday.
The question on everyone's mind remains: Is inflation a temporary sugar rush from stimulus or is it here to stay?

That was a steeper rise than February and greater than economists had expected.More Related News
