Sales of building materials - often a volatile item - fell 2.2% in the month.

Car sales - which can also vary greatly from month to month - jumped 2.1%, while furniture and household goods rose 2.4%. Total retail sales in June were 27.5% up from their level at the bottom of the recession in mid-2009. The figures come on top of weaker trade and manufacturing data, pointing to a softening in the US recovery. (bbc.co.uk) UK inflation rate rises to 2.9% in June The rate of consumer price index (CPI) inflation increased to 2.9% in June, up from 2.7% in May. The figure, a 14- month high, was lower than the 3% expected by markets. A rise in the inflation rate had been anticipated because of higher petrol and clothing prices versus a year ago. But it was moderated by slower annual rises in airfares and food prices. Retail prices index (RPI) inflation also rose, to 3.3% from 3.1% in May. That air transport played the biggest role in dampening inflation this month, with fares falling 2.8% during June, compared with a 7.4% increase in June 2012, due to lower European air fares in particular. Clothing and footwear prices fell 1.9% during the month - as they typically do during the summer sales - but the fall was less than the 4.2% drop seen in June last year.
