July inflation data shows a modest 0.1% increase in the food-at-home index, with a notable 5.5% rise in egg prices.

Other food categories like fruits and vegetables, and nonalcoholic beverages also saw price hikes, while cereals, bakery products, and dairy products experienced slight declines. The food-away-from-home category saw a 0.2% increase. Stocks to watch include Kroger, Costco, Target, Albertsons, and Sprouts Farmers Market, which may benefit from ongoing consumer spending on groceries.
