Inflation in Check
The Labor Department reported that consumer prices were unchanged in February, a sign that the weak economy is keeping inflation in check. The flat reading reflected a drop in energy costs and a gain in food prices. Core inflation, excluding energy and food, grew a modest 0.1%, due largely to increases in medical and car costs. Medical care costs grew 0.5% for the second straight month in February, the government said. Used car prices increased 0.7%, the seventh straight gain. Many analysts attribute the rise to last summer's "Cash for Clunkers" program, which took many used vehicles out of circulation. Meanwhile, the housing slump has flattened prices. Rents and other housing costs were unchanged in February, after falling 0.5% the previous month. Many economists expect the weak recovery to keep inflation in check for the rest of the year and the Federal Reserve has pledged to keep interest rates at record lows for an extended period, a sign that it agrees with those economists.
