Mexico’s consumer prices unexpectedly declined in the first half of June, dragged down by food and beverage costs in Latin America’s second-biggest economy.

Prices fell 0.05 percent in the first two weeks of the month, the central bank said in a report posted on its website today. Economists forecast a 0.11 percent rise, according to the median estimate of 14 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
