👉Canada's annual inflation rate dropped unexpectedly to 2.8% in February, as cellular and internet service prices declined sharply, and grocery price growth slowed. Statistics Canada's consumer price index report reveals a second consecutive month of softened price growth. Economists anticipated a rise above January's 2.9%, partly due to increased gasoline prices. Wireless service prices fell by 26.5%, while internet prices dropped by 13.2% compared to a year ago. Despite slower grocery price growth, food prices still rose by 2.4%. Housing costs contributed to inflation, with mortgage interest up 26.3% and rent up 8.2% annually. The Bank of Canada sees this report as positive evidence but awaits sustained inflation at the 2% target before considering interest rate cuts, expected to begin in June.✅ .
