July inflation would have closed at around 2%, according to analysts

The article reports on inflation estimates for July in Argentina, indicating that analysts predict a rate between 1.9% and 2.1%, slightly higher than June's 1.9%. This increase is attributed to seasonal factors such as winter holidays and the depreciation of the currency affecting food prices. While this would interrupt a three-month deflationary trend, most economists believe the downward trajectory will resume by year-end, with monthly rates below 2%. María Castiglioni of CyT Asesores Económicos notes that retail price surveys show a 1.9% rise, matching June's figure and being the lowest since August 2022. She explains that tourism-related items saw increased inflation due to winter holidays and the World Cup, while food prices rose 1.6%, lower than the overall average. Another report from EcoGo suggests a general inflation rate of around 2.1%, though it remains preliminary. The article highlights seasonal volatility and temporary discounts as contributing factors.
