The Bloomberg expectations for the month-over-month change was -1.3% to 0.0%, so an actual of 0.2% was toward the good side of expectations.
For the core (month-over-month minus autos and gas), the Bloomberg consensus range was -0.4% to 0.5%. Again, 0.3% (growth!) was toward the good side of expectations.
Still, crummy news is crummy news, even if expected.
