The annual growth rate of the core inflation index is projected to be 2.5%, the lowest since February, reflecting a slowdown in inflationary pressures, particularly from the oil and airline sectors. This deceleration in inflation could ease concerns about a potential interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve, indicating stable consumer spending and a diminished impact of the war on prices.
