The CPI rose 0.3% month-over-month in June, accelerating from May’s 0.1% pace. Year-over-year inflation also jumped to 2.7%, up from 2.4% in May. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.2% in June and came in at 2.9% annually — signs that underlying inflationary pressure remains sticky.

The consumer price index for June is expected to show that Trump tariffs began to nudge inflation higher last month.
