Despite the index rising in June, the year-over-year inflation figure dropped slightly to 2.08% from 2.14% in May.  This was due to the dropping out of June 2013’s slightly higher monthly increase.

Please visit our CPI Charts & Tables page for more data.

Almost all of June’s increase came from a rise in (Seasonally Adjusted) motor fuel which contributed 0.17% of the overall 0.26% increase.
