In June 2026, gasoline prices plunged 9.7% month-to-month while core CPI fell 0.02% and all-items CPI dropped 0.42%, with year-over-year core CPI at 2.59% and all-items CPI at 3.53%, driven by energy declines and temporary softness in services and goods categories. The article argues these favorable month-to-month readings represent temporary outliers unlikely to persist and notes the headline inflation data does not provide political support for a Federal Reserve rate hike at the July 2026 FOMC meeting.
U.S. inflation decelerated in June, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) declining 0.4% after increasing 0.5% in the previous month.

The document notes that the relief was short-lived as the ceasefire collapsed in early July, pushing oil prices up 12% and renewing inflation concerns, while core CPI excluding food and energy rose 2.6% year-over-year in June.

Fed Governor Christopher Waller stated that the Federal Reserve should consider tightening monetary policy in the near term if core inflation data from the Consumer Price Index (Tuesday) and Producer Price Index (Wednesday) show continued elevated readings, citing concerns about repeating the 2021 mistake of waiting too long to hike rates.
