U.S. inflation slows as CPI rises 3.5% in June
The June CPI increase to 3.5% marks a slower pace than before, with prices also showing their largest month over month drop since 2020.
U.S. inflation cooled in June, with the Consumer Price Index rising 3.5% year over year, according to reporting by the New York Times.
The outlet also said prices posted their biggest month over month decline since 2020, signaling a larger-than-usual easing in the latest reading.
The report attributes the slowdown to a period when activity related to the war with Iran was paused, noting that the inflation data came during that window.
