(MENAFN) Official data released Wednesday reveals that the US consumer price index (CPI) for May came in below projections. The annual inflation rate registered at 2.4%, slightly under the predicted 2.5%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Monthly price growth also slowed, rising just 0.1%, compared to the anticipated 0.2% increase.
