Inflation at four-decade high fuels economy and politics
The Labor Department reports a 7.5 percent year over year rise in consumer prices last month the steepest since February 1982. From December to January inflation is 0.6 percent as shortages and stimulus keep pressure on prices while midterm politics loom. Frontier Airlines and Spirit announce a $2.9 billion merger to form a larger low fare carrier facing antitrust scrutiny. Frontier would own 51.5 percent of the new company and Spirit holders receive 1.9126 Frontier shares plus 2.13 in cash per Spirit share. The deal aims for a second half close pending Spirit shareholder approval.
