Based on recent analysis, economists providing detailed inflation forecasts predict that the August CPI will be relatively mild compared to July. Specific data shows that the core CPI rose by 0.21% on a monthly basis, which keeps the annual inflation rate at 3.2% for the 12th month. The expected overall CPI, however, suggests it will slow down from before, reaching 2.5%. These figures reflect market judgments of current economic conditions and predictions for future inflation trends.
