Inflation rose just 0.2% in June, less than expected as consumers get a break from price increases
The big news of the day is the latest CPI report. To quote CNBC: "Inflation fell to its lowest annual rate in more than two years during June... The Consumer Price Index increased 3% from a year ago, which is the lowest level since March 2021." The monthly increase was slightly better than industry estimates. This is being viewed as a sign inflation continues to cool, while still above the Fed's 2% target. That being said, there are some areas where inflation remains stubborn, specifically shelter costs, which accounts for roughly one-third of CPI. The shelter index, a somewhat lagging indicator, was up 7.8% year-over-year. The index's 0.4% monthly gain "accounted for about 70% of the increase in headline CPI, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said."
