Consumer Prices Weakened Due To Falling Crude Oil Prices Thailand’s headline consumer prices (CPI) declined 1.2% y-o-y in August, inching lower from its -1.0% reading in July. Falling prices of non-food & beverages articles dragged the main index lower, whereas food & beverage costs accelerated from July, cushioning some of the downside. Core CPI held stable in August, unchanged for the fourth consecutive month. Economist:  Ng Kee Chou  | +603 9280 2179
