Stocks and bonds posted gains during the first quarter amid considerable volatility from a banking crisis and widespread uncertainty around interest rates. The latest CPI report shows annual inflation slowed again in March, yet it’s still more than double the Fed’s 2% target. Despite the first quarter’s strong performance, rising rates, among other factors, weighed on economic growth.
