FRANKFURT, July ‌24 (Reuters) - ​Euro ​zone consumers cut their ‌inflation expectations last month, ⁠likely encouraged by a ‌truce in the ‌Middle East that had brought down ​energy prices but proved short lived, ⁠a European Central Bank poll ​showed.

The median respondent in the ECB's Consumer ​Expectations Survey ‌saw inflation over the following ⁠12 months at 3.0% in June, ⁠down from 3.5% in May.

Expectations ​for inflation three years ahead declined to 2.8% ‌from 2.9%. The view five years ‌ahead was ⁠unchanged at ‌2.4%.
