The core reading increased 0.1% on a monthly basis versus expectations of a 0.2% increase. It stood at 3.3% on a year-on-year basis against expectations of 3.3%.
A separate reading of advance gross domestic product showed the U.S. economy grew by 1.5% in second quarter, against estimates of 2.1% growth.
A jobless claims report for the week ended July 25 showed claims stood 197,000, compared to estimates of 200,000.
