Argentina’s consumer price inflation accelerated in July 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 2.1%, up from 1.9% in June 2026. The fresh data, updated on 13 August 2026, signal a modest re‑acceleration in price pressures after a slight cooling in the previous month.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the July reading indicates that prices increased at a faster pace than in June, when inflation had eased to 1.9% compared with May. The latest figure suggests that, while inflation remains contained relative to more volatile periods, underlying price dynamics are still moving upward rather than stabilizing or declining.
The comparison underscores that the disinflationary trend seen in June has not yet been firmly established. Markets and policymakers will be watching subsequent releases closely to determine whether July’s uptick to 2.1% marks the start of renewed inflationary momentum or a temporary pause in a broader cooling trend.
