Alphacast High Frequency CPI - June 1st to 7th 2026
Alphacast High Frequency CPI: Inflation was 0.67% WoW
Weekly inflation rose in the first week of June. Consumer prices increased 0.67% WoW, up from the previous week’s 0.57%, suggesting a modest acceleration in the weekly pace. On a running basis, inflation remained at 2.8% MoM, while the annual rate edged up to 34.1% YoY.
Component dynamics were mixed in the first week of June, with core and seasonal prices decelerating, while regulated prices reflected the impact of monthly adjustments. Regulated prices rose 1.44% WoW, above the previous week’s 0.28%, mainly due to scheduled increases at the start of the month rather than a broad-based acceleration in underlying price dynamics. In contrast, core inflation slowed to 0.36% WoW, down from 0.74%, while seasonal prices eased to 0.26% WoW, from 0.47% previously. As a result, the stronger regulated print more than offset softer core and seasonal dynamics, pushing headline inflation higher in the first week of June.
