  • Prior +2.9%

  • HICP +2.7% vs +2.7% y/y expected
  • Prior +3.1%
  • HICP +0.6% vs +0.6% m/m expected
  • Prior -0.2%

This fits with expectations from the state readings earlier here. Core annual inflation is unchanged from January at 3.4% though. It just reaffirms that headline annual inflation is further converging towards the 2% mark. However, it remains to be seen if the core reading will follow suit in the months ahead.
