India, July 8 -- Latvia's consumer price inflation moderated slightly in June from a five-month high in the previous month, data from the statistical office showed on Wednesday.

The consumer price index rose 3.4 percent year-on-year in June, following a 3.5 percent increase in May.

Inflation based on transportation softened to 7.1 percent from 11.1 percent amid a slowdown in petrol costs. The deflation in food and non-alcoholic beverages eased marginally to 0.3 percent from 0.4 percent, and clothing and footwear prices continued to drop by 0.6 percent.
