That exceeded expectations for a decline of 0.1 percent following the 0.4 percent decline in May.
Core CPI, which excludes volatile food prices, also was unchanged on a yearly basis versus forecasts for a decline of 0.1 percent after slipping 0.2 percent in the previous month.
Individually, prices were higher annually for housing, furniture, clothing, education and recreation; they were lower for food, fuel, medical care and transportation.
On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, overall inflation was up 0.3 percent and core CPI rose 0.1 percent.
