That&#8217;s no surprise given the impact of the US-Iran conflict, which has seen European gas prices skyrocket last month. Of note, prices for petroleum products saw the biggest jump &#8211; up 17.1% on the month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" data-v-4026719d=\"\">In terms of core annual inflation, that is seen up a little to 1.1% in March as well. That compares with the 0.9% reading in February before that. That comes as we see a slight acceleration in services inflation, which nudged up to 1.7% in March from 1.6% in February.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" data-v-4026719d=\"\">Overall core services inflation was seen up 0.5% on the month, bringing the year-on-year change to 1.9%. Meanwhile, core food prices were down marginally by 0.1% but the year-on-year change remains positive at 0.3%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" data-v-4026719d=\"\">One can reasonably expect April to reflect a further pickup in inflation pressures given the macro landscape. And that sense of higher prices could lead on for a bit longer in the coming months. The hope for the ECB is that it will all be &#8220;transitory&#8221; once again, that especially with there being much optimism for a peace deal this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prior +0.9%HICP +2.0% vs +1.9% y\/y prelimPrior +1.1% On the month itself, headline inflation rose by 1.0% and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":394969,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[64,63,99,164],"class_list":["post-608881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-business","tag-economy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=608881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/394969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=608881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=608881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=608881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
