Strong ‘salma’ noted on February, obscuring prospects for Fed to start interest rates. On an annual basis the consumer price index increased 3.2% versus an estimate for 3.1%. The US inflation core increased by 3.8% against an estimate of an increase of 3.7%. It is noted that the so-called core of inflation exceeds the annual and monthly estimates, while the second consecutive monthly increase of 0.4%. The US Federal Reserve is therefore unlikely to accept the pressures to reduce its basic interest rate soon . It is currently within the range of 5.25 to 5.5% and is based on its monetary policy decisions, among others, on the evolution of inflation rates. According to most analysts, Fed will not start turning interest rates before June.
