Inflation Surges in US, Fueled by Gas Prices and Iran Conflict

Grocery and clothing costs also rise, straining family budgets and threatening consumer spending. March inflation could reach a four-year high, while job losses increase to 92,000 in February. The Federal Reserves next inflation gauge may show even hotter numbers, delaying any rate cuts.
