SINGAPORE: Singapore's key consumer price gauge rose 0.6% in June from a year earlier, official data showed on Wednesday, lower than economists' forecasts.

The core inflation rate, which excludes private road transport and accommodation costs, compared with a forecast of 0.7% in a Reuters poll of economists.
