--- "...dropped slightly from 4.8 percent year-over-year in June to 4.7 percent in July."
Media prose is a beautiful thing to observe AND translate.
What "dropped" was the estimate of inflation. Inflation as a phenomenon did not "drop." Inflation continues.
So we need a sentence with "inflation" and "drop" in it. See how that works.

WINNER !
year over year. Last year doesn’t count. Never mind if it was up 9%. This year it’s only up 4% so it’s a reduction (4% on top of 9% is a reduction)

Meanwhile, the lying and gaslighting continue while we pay more and more for less and less.
