US inflation held steady in February but doesn't include Iran war impact

Inflation in the US rose in February at a relatively subdued 2.4 percent annual pace, the same as in January, according to the latest government consumer price index report.


It's still slightly above the Federal Reserve's inflation target of 2 per cent and analysts say the war in Iran threatens to push inflation higher as the conflict causes oil prices to soar.
