FX.co ★ US Core CPI Flat in June, Cooling From 0.2% Rise in May

The United States saw its Core Consumer Price Index (Core CPI) register no change in June 2026 on a month-over-month basis, coming in at 0.0%. This marks a clear slowdown from May 2026, when Core CPI rose by 0.2% compared with April, according to data updated on 14 July 2026.

Measured month-over-month, the June reading indicates that underlying price pressures—excluding volatile food and energy components—stalled after a modest increase in the previous month. The comparison highlights a shift in momentum: while May still showed incremental inflation, June’s flat print suggests a pause in core price growth relative to the prior month.
