Kenya June Inflation Eases to 6.4% as Equities Advance

Kenya's annual inflation rate slowed to 6.4% in June from 6.7% in May, the first decline since February, driven by softer food and transport price increases. The Nairobi Securities Exchange posted gains through early July, with the NASI rising 0.53% on July 3. Political protests and security concerns persisted early in the week. These developments occurred against a backdrop of stable monetary policy and external risks from global energy prices.
