Inflation cools to 3.5% in June in relief brought by brief US-Iran deal

The News

In June, inflation fell to a 3.5% annual rate, down from 4.2% in May, as a brief US-Iran ceasefire temporarily reduced energy prices. The ceasefire has since ended, and recent strikes have caused oil prices to rise again. Core inflation, excluding energy and food, decreased to 2.6%. The data comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and highlights the impact of geopolitical events on consumer prices.
