Acabal, ResearcherWHOLESALE price growth slowed to a four-month low in June as lower global oil prices and easing geopolitical tensions tempered price pressures on key commodities, analysts said. For the first six months, GWPI growth averaged 2.3%, lower than the 3.3% in the same period in 2025. “At the same time, our anticipated weaker demand in that quarter may have also contributed to lower wholesale price pressures for that month,” he added. Wholesale price growth in Luzon eased to 2.2% in June from 3.2% a year ago and 2.4% in May. Meanwhile, bulk price growth in Mindanao accelerated to 1.9% in June from 1.1% a year ago but weakened from 2.2% in the previous month.
