![US INFLATION COOLS AGAIN, POTENTIALLY PAVING WAY FOR FED TO CUT INTEREST RATES SOON](https://cdn.magzter.com/1406567956/1720654201/articles/Oj92Rravg1720784075363/US-INFLATION-COOLS-AGAIN-POTENTIALLY-PAVING-WAY-FOR-FED-TO-CUT-INTEREST-RATES-SOON.jpg)
In a better-than-expected report, consumer prices declined 0.1% from May to June after having remained flat the previous month, the Labor Department said Thursday. It was the first monthly decline in overall inflation since May 2020, when the economy was paralyzed by the pandemic.
And measured from one year earlier, prices were up 3% in June, cooler than the 3.3% annual rate in May.
The latest inflation readings will likely help convince the Fed’s policymakers that inflation is returning to its 2% target. A brief pickup in inflation early this year had caused Fed officials to scale back their expectations for interest rate cuts. The policymakers said they would need to see several months of mild price increases to feel confident enough enough to cut their key rate from its 23-year high.
The June figures will qualify as another installment of the more good inflation data the central bank has been seeking. Should inflation remain low through the summer, most economists expect the Fed to begin cutting its benchmark rate in September.
Even as inflation slows, though, the costs of food, rent, health care and other necessities remain much higher than they were before the pandemic — a source of public discontent and a potential threat to President Joe Biden’s reelection bid.
