The consumer price index rose 8.5% in July from a year ago, below expectations, due largely to slumping energy prices.

Excluding volatile food and energy prices, so-called core CPI rose 5.9% annually and 0.3% monthly, compared with respective estimates of 6.1% and 0.5%.

The report was good news for workers, who saw a 0.5% monthly increase in real wages.
