Latest reading: Inflation came in at 3.1% in July, down from June’s 3.3% and matching market forecasts, but still above the Bank of Israel’s 1.0–3.0% target range.

Meanwhile, core inflation edged down to 3.4% in July from June’s 3.5%. Lastly, consumer prices rose 0.39% from the previous month in July, accelerating from the 0.29% rise logged in June.
