FIG continues it's slide; businesscycle.com Latest Future Inflation Gauge August 3, 2001 ECRI US Inflation Gauge 103.2 In July Vs 103.8 June Dow Jones Newswires NEW YORK -- Inflationary pressures in the U.S. economy eased again, suggested by a plunge in the growth of commodity prices, slower growth of real-estate loans and a higher unemployment rate, according to the Economic Cycle Research Institute. ECRI's future inflation gauge, an index designed to anticipate cyclical turning points in inflation, fell to 103.2 in July from a downwardly revised 103.8 in June, the group said Friday. The smoothed annualized growth rate of the index rose to -15.5% in July from -16.1% in June. "The underlying inflationary pressures not only continue to fall, but are doing so at the fastest rate since the last recession. Therefore, it is quite clear that inflation will keep declining for the foreseeable future," the report said. Weekly updates of the index are released only to subscribers. -By Steven Vames, Dow Jones Newswires
