Consumer price index drops to 2.3% in April from 12 months earlier , down from 2.4% in March .

That's the lowest reading since February 2021 , when pandemic-era inflation started to pop.

However, economists warn it's not a matter of if, but when, tariffs levied by President Trump start to re-ignite inflation.

Tariffs are a tax on imports from foreign nations, paid by U.S. companies that import the good or service.
