Separate report on Spanish CPI showed that the annual inflation of the CPI in June 2017 is 1.5%. This indicator provides a preview of the CPI that, if confirmed, would imply a decrease of four tenths in its annual rate, given that in May this change was 1.9%. It is worth nothing in this behaviour the decrease in the prices of fuels (diesel and gasoline/petrol), compared to the increase that they experienced last year. This evolution was also due to the increase in prices of electricity, lower than that of June 2016.
