The Chilean central bank has an inflation target range of 2% to 4%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">The monthly rise was driven by higher costs of housing, amid higher electricity prices, and food and non-alcoholic beverages, the agency said. The only group of the 13 surveyed that posted a monthly price decrease was insurance and financial services, it added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">The higher-than-expected figure for July followed a 0.4% drop in consumer prices in June.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Chile&#8217;s central bank last week cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 4.75%, but said future moves would depend on the evolution of the macroeconomic scenario and its implications for inflation&#8217;s convergence to its target.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">(Reporting by Benjam\u00edn Mej\u00edas Valencia and Natalia Ramos; Editing by Gabriel Araujo)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Reuters) -Consumer prices in Chile rose 0.9% in July from the previous month, data from statistics agency INE&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":53274,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[64,63,99,30330,21964,164,44433,44434,44435],"class_list":{"0":"post-53273","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-business","11":"tag-chile","12":"tag-consumer-prices","13":"tag-economy","14":"tag-electricity-prices","15":"tag-previous-month","16":"tag-reuters-poll"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53273"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53273\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
