Recent monthly CPI prints have shown subdued price pressures, with the July 2026 reading easing to 0.5% year-on-year amid falling food costs (especially pork) from ample supply and soft household spending, while non-food inflation moderated further due to fuel-price adjustments and easing global energy effects. Year-to-date averages hover near 1.0%, and consensus forecasts from the ADB, Reuters polls, and others cluster around 1.0-1.2% for the full year, reflecting persistent weak domestic demand despite targeted stimulus and slower GDP growth projected near 4.5-4.6%. Traders assign the highest probability to the 0.6-1.0% band because core measures remain contained and no major demand rebound has materialized through mid-August, though upside risks include potential additional policy support or commodity shifts that could lift readings into the low-1% range.
