Eurozone Inflation
According to the preliminary Consumer Price Index reading for March, Eurozone remains in deflation territory at a negative 0.1 percent on an annualized basis, but an improvement from the -0.2 percent in February. Core CPI, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, showed a year-over-year growth rate of 1 percent, higher than the 0.8 percent in February. Both the headline and core CPI readings were in line with the average analyst expectation of -0.1 percent and 1 percent, respectively, according to Thomson Reuters.
