  "summary": "Spanish inflation rose to 3.6% in July, according to the National Statistics Institute. This increase was driven by rising fuel prices, which pushed up the cost of transportation. The statistics office initially estimated inflation at 3.5% in July, but later revised it upwards.\n\nFood and non-alcoholic beverage prices fell, particularly for fruit and vegetables. The rise in energy costs, including motor fuels and electricity, contributed to the increased inflation rate. Spain's central bank had previously raised its inflation forecast for the full year to 3.6%.\n\nSpain has experienced five consecutive months of annual inflation above 3%, driven by higher electricity and fuel costs. The partial closure of the Strait of Hormuz has also had an impact on global energy markets. In July, power prices reached €100 per MWh, the highest year-on-year figure since 2022, according to Euronews.",
