Inflation eased to 2.4% in March, which was lower than expectations

There is new data out showing inflation is slowing, but it could sell trouble for the consumer.

This month’s Consumer Price Index shows a 0.1 percent drop in March, where the markets were expecting a 0.1 percent gain. On the year, the CPI is up 2.4 percent, and the markets were expecting 2.5 percent.

This could mean consumers have hit their limit.
