Consumer prices in the United States decreased by 0.1% in March, following a 0.2% increase in February. This decline was contrary to economists’ expectations, who had anticipated a slight increase of 0.1%. As a result, the annual inflation rate fell more than expected—from 2.8% in February to 2.4% in March.

The European Union has decided to postpone its planned trade countermeasures for 90 days, aligning with the United States’ announcement of a 90-day pause on import tariffs. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed the decision, saying the EU is giving negotiations a fair chance. Although the EU was close to approving retaliatory tariffs, the pause is meant to create space for dialogue. However, von der Leyen warned that if talks do not yield satisfactory results, the EU is prepared to implement the countermeasures after the 90-day period. “All options remain on the table,” she stated.
