Inflation based on housing and energy rose to 1.3 percent from 0.5 percent. Education costs grew 2.6 percent annually in March after remaining flat in the prior month. Meanwhile, prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages dropped 0.5 percent, and those for clothing and shoes were 0.7 percent less expensive.

On a monthly basis, consumer prices edged up 0.2 percent after rising 0.6 percent in February.
