Inflation is softening. Can it last with war and tariffs?

It’s been a big week for economic data. We got the consumer and producer price indexes, retail sales, and consumer sentiment in the five days gone by. And while inflation looks to be softening from these reports, can that last as the war continues?

“Marketplace” host Kai Ryssdal discusses all this and more with Ana Swanson at the New York Times and Catherine Rampell at MSNOW and The Bulwark.
