I noticed that an interesting inflation dynamic is beginning in Israel. According to Jin10, the consumer price index jumped 0.4% month-over-month in March — a noticeable increase compared to February's 0.2%. It looks like an acceleration.



But on an annual basis, the picture is different. The consumer price index increased by only 1.9% — slightly below February's 2.0%. So, over the year, inflation has even slightly slowed down. It results in a mixed signal: monthly prices are rising faster, but the annual trend is weakening.

It's interesting to observe how these contradictory data will influence the Central Bank's decisions. It seems there is inflationary pressure, but it’s not as acute as it might appear at first glance.
