Headline inflation is going up. Pay attention. The Labor Department on Thursday reported that overall consumer prices rose 0.2% in April from March, putting them up 2.5% versus a year earlier. That marks the biggest annual gain in headline prices in over a year. Core prices, which strip away food and energy items, rose a more muted 0.1%, putting them up 2.1%.
