On a monthly basis, inflation fell 0.1 percent versus expectations for an increase of 0.2 percent and slowing from a 0.5 percent gain in the previous month.
The bureau also said that producer prices were up 2.3 percent on year - again missing forecasts for 3.1 percent and down sharply from the 4.2 percent gain a month earlier.
