Critics of President Trump's tariff policies have been waiting for the import taxes to raise the inflation rate. That effect may be beginning.

Tariffs contributed modestly to the rise of inflation last month, analysts told ABC News, citing the price hikes in product categories made up primarily of imports. But, they added, overall price increases owed largely to a rise in housing and food products with little connection to tariffs.

Consumer prices posted the biggest increase in June in five months and are likely to keep the Federal Reserve from cutting interest rates soon, but there only scattered signs of tariff-related inflation.
