Prices for fruit, pharmaceutical products and vegetables fell notably in the quarter, offsetting rises for domestic holiday travel and accommodation, rent, beer and gasoline
On an annual basis, consumer prices rose 3.1% in the December quarter, decelerating from a 3.5% annual rise in the September quarter
Economists had been expecting quarterly CPI to rise 0.2%, or 3.3% higher on an annual basis, according to data compiled by Dow Jones Newswires
