increase year-over-year in march. that is the highest level of inflation since back in 1981 and that's fueling concerns about bigger interest rate hikes from the federal reserve as we move forward and a number of federal reserve speakers have indicated that they think they should move faster. most of the increase in cpi was due to gas prices and grocery prices last month, but some folks are wondering if we're getting near a peak because some of the things driving inflation have started to stabilize like used cars. stocks were higher through much of the day yesterday, but just slumped into the close. theow down 87 points at the end of the day, the nasdaq and s&p 500 slipping fractionally. this morning we're going to get the report on producer prices, a read on inflation at the wholesale level. we'll see if they're passing their costs on to us. and earning season kicking off. we heard from jpmorgan and
