India's wholesale inflation slowed down in June, meaning the prices businesses pay for goods and services aren't rising as sharply as before. This could signal some relief for the economy, though it's still worth watching how this trickles down to consumer prices.

Editor’s Note: Wholesale price changes often hint at where consumer prices might head next. If wholesale costs keep cooling, it could mean less pressure on everyday prices—good news for households and businesses alike. But since inflation is still a global concern, this dip doesn’t mean the problem’s solved, just that there might be a slight breather.

Inflation in Sweden is cooling off but still nudging prices upward. Consumer prices rose 0.5% in June compared to the previous month, while the annual inflation rate settled at 2.8%—still above the central bank’s 2% target but showing signs of easing from last year’s highs.

Editor’s Note: For Swedes, this means everyday costs are still climbing, just not as sharply as before. While 2.8% inflation is better than the spikes seen in recent years, it’s a reminder that prices aren’t dropping—they’re just rising slower. This could influence everything from grocery bills to interest rates, depending on how the central bank responds.
