1 Reason Inflation Could Be Good News for AMC and 1 Reason It Could Be Bad

Widespread inflation is rattling economies and pinching consumers' budgets. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Consumer Price Index increased by 8.3% in April from the year before. That was just a little bit lower than the 8.5% year-over-year increase in March, but it is still uncomfortably high.
