From Brian Wesbury:
"The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.1% in May, matching consensus expectations. The CPI is up 4.0% from a year ago.
Food prices rose 0.2% in May, while energy prices declined 3.6%.
"Prices were once again held down by the volatile energy sector, which fell 3.6% in May."
ENERGY costs drive inflation as I always say
