July 2015
The CPI for All Urban Consumers increased 0.3 percent in June, seasonally adjusted, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. The increase was broad-based, with advances in gasoline, shelter, and food. The food index posted its largest increase since September, partly caused by a sharp increase in the eggs index. The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent. The all items index showed a 12-month increase for the first time since December, increasing 0.1 percent. The energy index has still declined 15.0 percent on the year. The indices for food and all items less food and energy have both risen 1.8 percent.
