Monthly headline inflation rose to 3.5%, up from 0.2% in May. Meanwhile, annual core inflation \u2014 the CBE\u2019s preferred gauge, which strips away volatile items such as food \u2014 fell to 10.9% in June, compared to 11.1% in May. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/06\/11\/inflation-rose-in-may-at-its-slowest-pace-in-two-years\/\">Inflation in May<\/a> had cooled to its lowest level in two years, but recent <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/06\/19\/government-hikes-fuel-prices-by-c-50\/\">increases to the cost of fuel and power<\/a> as well as transportation had widely been expected to push inflation up slightly during the summer months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The spike, however, was a little too much, too soon<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/egypt-economy-inflation\/update-3-energy-subsidy-cuts-trigger-june-jump-in-egypt-consumer-inflation-idUSL8N1U60UT\">various analysts tell Reuters<\/a>. \u201cWe had expected the 3.5% m-om increase in CPI to hit the July numbers, rather than June, which means that the spike in cost had reflected on prices faster than estimated,\u201d said Pharos\u2019 Head of Research Radwa El Swaify. \u201cConsequently, we expect July monthly inflation to hit 2.5-3.5%, and annual inflation to score 14.5-15.0%, but level off gradually to 13-13.5% by December 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does this mean for interest rates? <\/strong>Expectations are for the central bank to maintain key overnight deposit and lending rates until the end of the year, El Swaify and Naeem Brokerages\u2019 Alan Sandeep tell the newswire. The central bank\u2019s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) had kept overnight deposit and lending rates unchanged at 16.75% and 17.75%, respectively, <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/07\/02\/central-bank-leaves-key-interest-rates-unchanged\/\">when it met last month<\/a>, describing the move as a necessary measure to counter the expected rise in inflation.
