Singapore core inflation accelerates to 2.0% in July

Singapore's core consumer price index rose 2.0% year-on-year in July, up from 1.6% in June, with no consensus estimate available for comparison. The pickup ends a recent trend of cooling inflation and takes the measure back to levels last seen earlier in 2024. Core CPI strips out volatile food and energy prices, making it a key input for the Monetary Authority of Singapore when calibrating exchange-rate policy.
