0837 GMT - Singapore's core inflation is likely to ease to its lowest level since early 2021, DBS's economics team says in a note. The core consumer-price index, which excludes private transport and accommodation costs, likely rose 0.1% on year in September, the economists say, moderating for the third consecutive month. That is likely due to factors including enhanced discounts at local supermarkets, which could have dragged down food inflation. Headline inflation is expected to be stable at 0.5% on year due to weaker core inflation and low accommodation price increases, the team says. Singapore's September inflation data are due Thursday.
