    Alex Gluyas

    Headline annual inflation growth slowed to 7 per cent in the first quarter, from 7.8 per cent in the December period. Consensus expected CPI growth of 6.9 per cent.

    Core CPI, which is the RBA’s preferred measure, cooled to 6.6 per cent from 6.9 per cent. Economists had expected a reading of 6.7 per cent.
