Consumer price index for February is forecast to show an increase of 0.3% for a broad array of goods and services.

That projection holds both for the all-items measure as well as the core index that excludes volatile food and energy prices.

On an annual basis, that would put headline inflation at 2.9% and core at 3.2% , moving lower but still above the Fed 's 2% target.
