Consumer prices drop 0.3% in April, energy blamed
WASHINGTON (Reuters) — A sharp drop in energy costs helped pull consumer prices down in April, but even without volatile energy costs prices were unchanged, the government said Friday in a report likely to fan fears of deflation.
The Consumer Price Index, the most popular gauge of inflation, fell 0.3% last month, the Labor Department said. The so-called core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was unchanged for a second month.

Economists had expected the CPI to dip 0.1%, and the core rate to rise 0.2%.

It was the first time since two back-to-back declines in late 1982 that the core CPI had not risen in any two-month period. Core inflation has slowed sharply this year, advancing at a 0.6% annual rate after increasing 1.9% last year.

In the 12 months ended in April, the core CPI was up just 1.5%, smallest 12-month advance since March 1966.

The Federal Reserve warned after a meeting last week that the economy faced a small risk of an "unwelcome substantial fall in inflation." Analysts had said any further sharp slowing would likely raise the odds the central bank would lower interest rates again to ward off any chance prices would fall for a sustained period.

Energy prices, which had risen sharply for three straight months, slid 4.6% in April, biggest decline since November 2001. The price of gasoline fell 8.3% and fuel oil costs plummeted 14.9%, sharpest drop since February 1990.

The tumble in energy prices reflected the drop in the cost of oil since late-February highs as concerns eased over the possibility of a war-related disruption in supplies.
