Inflation slows as Fed seen cutting rates later this year
The government reports February prices rose 0.3 percent from January with core prices up 0.3 percent. Year over year inflation stands at 2.5 percent, while the CPI runs hotter than the PCE gauge used by the Fed. Analysts expect possible rate cuts, with Oxford Economics noting a 0.3 percent January to February rise may still be too high.
