0844 GMT [Dow Jones] Poland's central bank may wait until May or June before its next rate hike, after the finance ministry's March CPI estimate came in below consensus at 4.1% on the year, vs 4.2% in February, says Invest Bank. However, the bank sees a significant chance that the official CPI figure, due April 15, could be higher, while food and energy price hikes will in any case push headline annual inflation to 4.9% in the third quarter.
