Economists had expected an average inflation rate of 8.8 percent.
But when the statistics came out on Wednesday afternoon, it turns out that they amounted to 9.1 percent in June.
The figure can be compared with May when inflation was 8.6 percent.
The so-called core inflation adjusted for food and energy landed at 5.9 percent, also higher than expected.
Above all, it is rents that have risen, says SVT's financial reporter Peter Rawet.
- It is actually rents that account for a third of the consumer price index and it is some kind of record, he says and continues:
- Since 1986, rents have not risen that much.
He also mentions food and petrol prices as products that have risen sharply in price.
Stock market fall after the US inflation slump
Immediately after the US inflation slump, a stock market crash caused by fears in the market is reported that the US central bank may tighten monetary policy, reports Reuters.
The Stockholm Stock Exchange also falls on the message and is down 1.6 percent after previously being at minus 0.9 percent.
The market is also waiting for inflation figures from several EU countries, including France and Spain.
