The American Institute for Economic Research reported that its Everyday Price Index (EPI) fell to 312.8 in June 2026, down from 316.0 in May. The primary driver of the decline was a sharp 9.6 percent drop in motor fuel prices during June. This marks a reversal from the spring cost surge that had pushed prices higher in previous months. The EPI measures price changes for goods and services that consumers purchase on a routine basis, providing a real-time gauge of inflation pressures on household budgets.
