  The numbers: U.S. consumer prices rose a modest 0.2% in June and the rate of inflation slowed to the lowest level since 2021, but recent progress might not be enough to stop the Federal Reserve from raising interest rates soon.
  
  The increase in consumer prices last month was smaller than the 0.3% forecast of economists polled by the Wall Street Journal.
  
  The yearly rate of inflation decelerated to 3% from 4% in the prior month. The last time inflation was this low was in March 2021.

  Stocks scored back-to-back gains on Tuesday as investors waited on an inflation update due Wednesday from the June consumer-price index. The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a near 317-point gain, advancing 0.9%, to end near 34,260, according to preliminary FactSet data. That marks its biggest daily percentage gain since June 15, according to FactSet. The S&P 500 index closed up 0.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite Index gained 0.6%.

  
  

  Stocks have been on the upswing ahead of a key inflation reading for June, with the consumer price index expected to show further progress in retreat from its peak above 9% last summer. The Federal Reserve has indicated it likely has a few more rate hikes on tap this year to help bring inflation down toward its 2% annual target. Investors also will be tuning into second-quarter earnings, which kick off in earnest later in the week with results from some of the nation’s biggest banks.
