Consumer prices rose 8.5% in July, less than expected as inflation pressures ease a bit
Prices that consumers pay for a variety of goods and services rose 8.5% in July from a year ago, a slowing pace from the previous month.
美国劳工部公布的数据显示，今年7月 CPI 同比增长8.5%，较6月收窄0.6个百分点。美国7月的核心通胀数据（核心CPI，剔除能源和食品等波动性较大商品）环比上涨0.3%，而6月份的数据则是环比上涨0.7%。7月的核心通胀数据同比上涨5.9%，与6月数据持平。
根据劳工部数据，7月汽油价格同比下降了7.7%，是自2020年4月以来的最大跌幅，这抵消了食品和住房价格的增长。食品价格环比上涨1.0%，为连续第7个月升幅超过0.9%。食品价格同比上涨10.9%，为1979年5月以来最大升幅。
Next Fed rate hike size may be based on soaring 'core' costs, not energy prices
Overall consumer inflation probably eased in July, but the core rate likely rose. That may mean another big Fed rate hike ahead.
