Regular CPI, aka "all items" -- includes food and energy
CORE CPI - does not include food and energy
I guess the fuel and fertilizer spike-up since the beginning of the current Iran War (which started February 28) have not filtered down yet to non-food, non-energy items yet, given that the CORE (which doesn't include food nor energy) increased only 0.196% (2.38% annualized) from February to March, if their numbers are to be believed. The 0.196% rounds to 0.2% which is what's reported.
(The 0.196% is calculated using their actual index numbers as is the annualization).
