La inflación de EE.UU. baja a 3,4% mientras los salarios se estancan

El Departamento de Trabajo de EE. UU. informó que la inflación al consumidor en julio descendió al 3,4% interanual, mientras el crecimiento salarial cayó al mínimo de cinco años, 3,2%, dejando sin cambios el poder adquisitivo real y obligando a los hogares a depender más de sus ahorros y del crédito.

En el mismo período, el índice de precios al productor (PPI) se mantuvo sin cambios mensuales y su crecimiento anual se redujo al 4,7% desde el 5,5% de junio, con la inflación mayorista subyacente descendiendo al 4,2%. La caída de los precios de la gasolina y los alimentos también contribuyó al enfriamiento de la inflación, aunque la inflación subyacente de consumo se mantuvo en 2,5% y por encima del objetivo de la Reserva Federal.
