CPI Inflation In March: Downward, Month-On-Month
While year-on-year core rose, month-on-month fell, along with other measures of inflation that are aimed at getting the trend.

Median, trimmed mean, and instantaneous inflation all fell faster than core. This suggests to me inflationary pressures are perhaps cooling off faster than a look restricted to core would suggest.
