EZ JUN FLASH CORE HICP +0.3% M/M; +0.9% Y/Y; MAY +1.0% Y/Y

EZ inflation eased to 1.9% in Jun, confirming market expectations (BBG: +1.9%).

Similarly, core inflation edged down to 0.9% in Jun, following May's uptick to 1.0%.

Jun's downtick was led by a deceleration of energy inflation to 12.5%, down from 13.1%, and of service inflation which slowed to 0.7% after rising to 1.1% in May.

On the other hand, prices for non-energy industrial goods increased to a five-month high of 1.2%, while food inflation accelerated to 0.6%.

Among the member states, Estonia (3.7%), Lithuania (3.5%) and Luxembourg (3.4%) recorded the largest rates, while Portugal (-0.6%) was the only country to post a decline of consumer prices.
