Wholesale prices climbed 6.2 percent year-over-year in June, slower than the 7.3 percent rise in May.

Prices for domestic sales advanced 8.0 percent in June from a year ago, and those for the export market were 6.0 percent more expensive.
Data also showed that wholesale electricity prices jumped 91.3 percent annually in June.
On a monthly basis, wholesale prices dropped marginally by 0.1 percent in June, reversing a 0.5 percent gain in the previous month.
