Singapore's Consumer Inflation Likely Eased in February -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-20 14:03

0603 GMT - Singapore's consumer-price index likely rose 1.2% on year in February, compared with January's 1.4% increase, according to the median estimate of five economists polled by The Wall Street Journal. Headline inflation likely eased due to a pullback in accommodation price increases and stable private transport inflation, DBS's economics team writes in a report. Core CPI, which excludes private road transport and accommodation, likely rose 1.3%, up from the 1.0% increase in January, according to the poll. The pick-up in core inflation was driven by low base effects and the Lunar New Year season which have pushed up food prices, DBS says. The CPI data are due Monday.(amanda.lee@wsj.com)
