Economic Report:

If you hear a hissing sound, don’t worry, it is only the U.S. economy. According to the Guardian for the first time since August of 1955 the U.S. economy is in a deflation. The consumer price index dropped by 0.4 percent in March. The main reason is a drop in energy costs during the month which fell by 3 percent with gasoline prices dropping by 4 percent.
