Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money.
Inflation ran hot for a third straight month in March, Paul Davidson reports, raising questions about when the Federal Reserve will feel confident that price pressures are subdued and it can begin cutting interest rates.

The report also ranks states on lifetime tax costs. And residents of one Northeast state pay $987,117 in lifetime taxes, the analysis found, the highest tab in the nation.
Guess which one?
