SINGAPORE SEPT CORE INFLATION AT 2.8% Y/Y

Singapore's key consumer price gauge rose 2.8% in September from a year earlier, higher than economists' forecasts, official data showed on Wednesday.

The core inflation rate, which excludes private road transport and accommodation costs, compared with a 2.7% forecast in a Reuters poll of economists and the 2.7% rate in August. Headline inflation in September was up 2.0% from the same month last year, higher than the 1.9% forecast in the poll.
