Key drivers
- June core CPI zero looks partly one-off and likely mean-reverts
- Shelter slowed to 0.1 percent in June, limiting upside
- Core goods and vehicle categories were soft in June
- Services ex-energy were flat in June after 0.3 percent in May
- Tariff or import-cost pass-through remains an upside risk
