The US Consumer Price Index declined to 3.5% in June from 4.2% in May—the largest single-month drop since April 2020—driven primarily by falling energy prices following a temporary US-Iran ceasefire. The agreement has since collapsed and oil prices are climbing again, limiting the scope of relief amid elevated household costs.
