2026.07.1412:30:00UTC+00US Core CPI Eases to 2.6% in June, Underscoring Gradual Cooling in Underlying Inflation

Core consumer price inflation in the United States slowed in June 2026, reinforcing signs of a gradual easing in underlying price pressures. Year-over-year, the Core CPI rose 2.6% in June, down from 2.9% in May 2026.

The figures, updated on 14 July 2026, show that the pace of core inflation — which excludes volatile food and energy components — continues to moderate when comparing each month with the same period a year earlier. The previous reading reflected a 2.9% increase in May 2026 versus May 2025, while the latest data indicate a 2.6% rise in June 2026 compared with June 2025.

The continued deceleration in Core CPI on a year-over-year basis will likely be closely watched by investors and policymakers as they assess the trajectory of inflation and its implications for the broader economic outlook and future policy decisions.
