Canada’s headline inflation slowed in June, with CPI easing to 2.8% year over year, down from 3.2% in May, according to Action Forex.

The decline was linked to lower gasoline prices, which fell 10.2% in June, though they remained up 20.5% versus a year earlier.

Action Forex also noted some cooling in food costs, with grocery prices for food purchased from stores rising 3.9% year over year.

The report highlights how energy prices were a key driver of the monthly inflation move.
