June consumer prices rose 3.5% annually, easing from expectations

The June CPI increase matched a slower pace, with energy prices cited as a key factor behind the softer reading.

Reported · Written up by our desk · Inflation

CNBC reports that consumer prices rose 3.5% year over year in June, coming in below expectations.

The outlet said the CPI was expected to increase 3.8% from a year ago, with easing energy prices helping temper the overall figure.

With the inflation print less than forecast, markets will look to whether the slowdown signals a broader cooling in prices beyond energy.
