The current\u00a0 conditions index fell from 82.0 in June to 76.3 in July and the expectations index dropped nine points, from 64.8 to 55.8.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike earlier in the year, rising inflation expectations played no role in the overall decline as the one-year outlook for consumer prices fell from 3.8 percent to 3.4 percent and the five year inflation forecast dipped from 3.0 percent to 2.8 percent.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"copy fix\">\n<div class=\"post-title\">\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.timiacono.com\/index.php\/2011\/07\/15\/energy-drives-consumer-prices-down-in-june\/\">Energy Drives Consumer Prices Down in June<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"copy fix\">\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>The Labor Department\u00a0reported\u00a0that consumer prices fell in June for the first time in a year, down 0.2 percent last month due to tumbling gasoline and heating oil prices, but annual inflation rose from 3.4 percent to 3.6 percent.<\/p>\n<p>So-called \u201ccore\u201d inflation (excluding food and energy) rose by 0.3 percent for the second month in a row.
