US Inflation Remained High Again in July
US inflation turned positive in June after 3 negative months since March
Inflation turned negative in the US during March, April and May, declining by 0.4%,0.8% and 0.1% respectively, as consumer demand declined during those months. But, in June we saw a reversal and a 0.6% bounce for headline CPI (consumer price index) and by 0.2% for the core CPI. Although, headline CPI was expected to cool off to 0.3% in June, while core CPI was expected to remain unchanged at 0.2%. But, they both came at 0.6%, which is a positive thing when the uncertainly remains high.
