Inflation slowed sharply -- but it may not last

In June, annual inflation in the United States decreased to 3.5%, marking a decline from May's rate, which had been the highest in over three years.

The article highlights the delicate balance between current economic relief and potential future challenges posed by geopolitical tensions.
