Inflation fell in June, on the back of lower energy prices, the government said Tuesday. Why it matters: It's the largest one-month decrease since April 2020, but it may be a short-lived reprieve — the report doesn't account for the sharp increase in oil prices this month as the Iran war re-ignites. By the numbers: Still, inflation is pretty hot. The Consumer Price Index rose 3.5% in the 12 months through June — down from 4.2% in May. - On a monthly basis, prices fell 0.4%, after increasing 0.5% in May. Zoom in: The CPI for energy fell 5.7% in June, after climbing 3.9% in May — it was the largest factor in the June fall in inflation. - Core CPI, which excludes more volatile food and energy prices, rose 2.6% in June, after…

Why it matters: At stake is who gets to write the rules for the world's dominant tech companies — Washington or Brussels — and Greer wants America to lead the way on how its companies operate. What they're saying: "People differ on how big tech should be treated," Greer told Axios' Mike Allen on Tuesday. - "What I can tell you is we're not going to let Europe control the global regulation of our companies, which generally give a lot of free services to consumers and provide a lot of consumer welfare." - "So, whatever challenges we…
