Closely watched measure of consumer inflation matches forecasts, but core CPI less than expected.
The consumer price index rose 0.2 percent after showing no change in May, according to a Labor Department report.
The so-called "core-CPI," which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was unchanged after rising 0.3 percent in May. Economists, on average, expected CPI to rise 0.2 percent and core CPI to rise 0.1 percent, according to a Reuters poll.
Much of the gain in June CPI was driven by a 0.4-percent jump in food prices, along with a 0.4-percent gain in clothing prices. Energy prices rose 0.8 percent, the biggest jump since March.
