Fuel costs boosted inflation to its highest rate in years the previous month.
Consumer prices rose 3.5% from June 2025 and dropped 0.5% from May and June, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported, well below consensus analyst estimates of a 3.9% annual increase, according to FactSet.
That’s the largest month-to-month decline in consumer prices since April 2020 (0.8%), according to the agency.
