The numbers: A measure of inflation preferred by the Federal Reserve rose just 0.2% in April — the smallest increase in a year and a half — largely because of a decline in gas prices. But there were other hints that a surge in inflation might be abating.
The rise in the so-called personal consumption price index was the smallest since November 2020.
Big picture: Most Americans have never endured such high inflation and it’s caused plenty of angst on Main Street, Wall Street and Washington.
Market reaction: The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.61% and S&P 500 SPX, +1.99% were set to open slightly higher in Friday trades. Stocks had rallied over the past two days.
