rather than the 0.3% predicted. Actually it was 0.3825% increase (according to the actual index numbers), so it rounded up to 0.4%. Had it come in at just .0326% less, it would have rounded to 0.3%.

The core came in at 0.3469%, which rounds to 0.3%. Had it come in at just 0.0032% higher, it would have rounded to 0.4%
