France's consumer price inflation rate is expected to ease to 1.2 percent in July 2021, from last month's one-and-a-half-year high of 1.5 percent but above market expectations of 1.0 percent, according to preliminary estimates. This decrease in inflation should result from the downturn in manufactured good prices, linked to the postponed summer sales, the slowdown in the prices of services, and to a lesser extent tobacco. Conversely, the prices of food should rebound and those of energy should accelerate. On a monthly basis, consumer prices are seen rising 0.1 percent in July, the same as in the previous month and beating forecasts of a 0.1 percent drop. source: INSEE, France
