Here's more:

Americans got a break on inflation last month, with better deals at the gas station and cooler price increases across much of the economy.
Consumer prices were up 3.5% in June from a year earlier, beating expectations and improving from the 4.2% inflation rate in May. Inflation was also lower than the 3.8% that analysts polled by The Wall Street Journal expected.

The experts predicted inflation would be at 3.8 percent.

Looks like the experts were wrong, I'm still not tired of winning.

"This is four times more negative!"

“And if we look at the CPI month over month on the core, also under expectations comes in at goose egg zero!”“Zero would be the smallest amount. It would equal Jan of 21.”

"Expecting a headline number to be negative...this is 4X more negative!"

CPI fell by 0.4% in June, the largest decline since April 2020—and below the forecast of every single Bloomberg economist.

Fox Business also said that core year-over-year was 2.6 percent, when experts predicted 2.8 percent. "This is a nice decline from last month," said Maria Bartiromo.

Even the Leftists living on copium can't deny that this is an excellent report on inflation. Despite all their fear mongering over the war in Iran and the Trump economy, the administration just delivered the biggest drop in inflation in half a decade.

President Trump also posted about the excellent news.

And we're sure he'll have more to say about the inflation report as the day goes on.
