Eurozone M3 money supply grew in February by 4.7%, the same rate as in January and still above the European Central Bank's 4.5% reference value. M3 money rose a seasonally adjusted E36 bln, the strongest monthly growth in 11 months and equivalent to an annualized rate of about 8.7%. Many analysts had expected the headline rate to slow to 4.4% due to a base effect. The data could reduce chances of an ECB rate cut soon, given above-ceiling inflation and a weak euro.
