Chile's Annual Inflation Unexpectedly Speeds Up After Rate Cut
Chile's annual inflation unexpectedly accelerated for the first time since March after the central bank signaled it will gradually lower its borrowing costs over coming quarters.
Annual inflation sped up to 4.3% in July, above all estimates in a Bloomberg survey that had a 4% median forecast. On the month, prices rose 0.9%, also above all projections, the national statistics institute reported on Friday.
