SINGAPORE: Singapore's annual core inflation rate eased to 0.6% in February, data showed on Monday, and an analyst said the lowest reading in nearly four years meant an easing was possible at the central bank's policy review next month.

The core inflation rate, which excludes private road transport and accommodation costs, was below the median forecast of 0.7% in a Reuters poll and January's reading of 0.8%.
