Consumer price inflation crept up to an annual rate of zero in October in the 19 countries that use the euro, a weak reading that could help push the European Central Bank to expand its stimulus program. Inflation rose from minus 0.1 percent the month before, the European Union statistics agency Eurostat said Friday, Oct. 30. Falling energy prices were a major factor in keeping the rate low. But weak price increases are also a sign of less than robust demand in the economy. (AP Photo/Michael Probst, file) (The Associated Press)
