Market analysis notes that falling energy prices helped cool inflation in July, with gasoline prices dropping 2.9% month-on-month and fuel oil down 1.7%. However, this reprieve may be temporary. Recent rebounds in crude oil prices and strong refining margins have begun driving up fuel costs. The current average U.S. gasoline price stands at $4.03 per gallon, a notable increase from $3.87 a month earlier, suggesting energy could exert fresh upward pressure on August inflation.
