Retail Apparel Prices Drop
Retail apparel prices dipped 1.2% in July as inflation slowed. Women’s apparel took the biggest hit, falling a seasonally adjusted 1.9%.
The July numbers represented the steepest decline in retail apparel prices in eight years.
The U.S. core inflation rate, which excludes energy and food, rose just 0.2% in July, setting the stage for lower prices.
