The Cleveland Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the United States eased in June 2026, with month-over-month inflation slowing to 0.2%, down from 0.3% in May. The latest figure, updated on 14 July 2026, indicates a modest deceleration in price growth compared with the prior month.
On a month-over-month basis, the “actual” June reading reflects how prices changed from May to June, while the “previous” figure captures the change from April to May. The step down from 0.3% to 0.2% suggests that price pressures in the Cleveland area have softened slightly as the summer began, offering a tentative signal of cooling inflation dynamics in this regional gauge.
