US CPI inflation eases in July
At long last, headline CPI inflation declined in the US from 9.1% in June to 8.5% in July (y/y). Core inflation remained unchanged at 5.9%. In analysing the US CPI data, Stefan Gerlach notes that it is useful to look at the disaggregated data in terms of both monthly and annual changes.
