US wholesale inflation falls 0.3% in June amid falling energy prices

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

U.S. wholesale inflation experienced a 0.3% decrease in June, primarily driven by a significant drop in energy prices. This decline, the largest since April 2025, contrasts with the previous month's increase and brings the year-over-year wholesale price inflation to 5.5%. Core wholesale prices, excluding food and energy, saw a more modest increase of 0.2% month-over-month. These inflation figures, which are still above the Federal Reserve's 2% target, suggest reduced pressure on the Fed to raise interest rates, although geopolitical tensions, particularly with Iran and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, pose a risk to future energy prices and overall inflation outlook.
