Global inflation and consumer price trends

Overview

Global inflation trends in mid-to-late 2026 show varied economic indicators across different regions. In Thailand, quarterly data from the Agence nationale de la statistique et de la démographie (ANSD) indicated a 0.3% decline in consumer prices during the second quarter of 2026, driven by a 1.0% drop in food and non-alcoholic beverage prices and a 0.6% reduction in housing, water, electricity, gas, and fuel costs. However, on an annual basis, Thailand's consumer price index rose by 1.0% compared to 2025, with a significant 11.4% annual increase in the alcoholic beverages, tobacco, and narcotics sector.

By July 2026, global trends remained mixed. In the United States, the Consumer Price Index rose 0.1% month-on-month with an annual rate of 3.4%, while core CPI cooled to 2.5% annually. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, the Federal Reserve’s preferred gauge, rose 0.2% for the month and 3.7% annually. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh noted that 54% of the 199 items in the PCE index have risen more than 3% over the past 12 months, suggesting early monetary easing may be difficult to justify. Consequently, the probability of a September interest rate hike fell from 48.4% to 38.1% according to the CME FedWatch tracker.

In Europe, France reported an acceleration in inflation to 2.1% annually due to rising energy and service costs. In North America, Canadian economists projected headline inflation to reach approximately 2.9% for July, influenced by volatile gasoline prices following renewed hostilities in the Middle East.
