    CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTSMARCH 2014

    The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.2 percent in March on a seasonally adjusted basis, theU.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 1.5 percent before seasonaadjustment.

    Increases in the shelter and food indexes accounted for most of the seasonally adjusted all items increase. The food index increased0.4 percent in March, with several major grocery store food groups increasing notably. The energy index, in contrast, declined slightly

    in March as decreases in the gasoline and fuel oil indexes more than offset increases in the indexes for electricity and natural gas.The index for all items less food and energy also rose 0.2 percent in March. Besides the 0.3 percent increase in the shelter index

    the indexes for medical care, for apparel, for used cars and trucks, and for airline fares also increased. The indexes for householdfurnishings and operations and for recreation both declined in March.

    The all items index increased 1.5 percent over the last 12 months; this compares to a 1.1 percent increase for the 12 months endingFebruary. The index for all items less food and energy has increased 1.7 percent over the last 12 months, as has the food index. Theenergy index has risen slightly over the span, advancing 0.4 percent.
