That was below forecasts for an increase of 0.3 percent following the 0.2 percent gain in the previous month.
On a monthly basis, the index was down 0.4 percent after showing a flat reading in April.
By category, prices were down for advertising services and communications - while prices were up for transportation and leasing.
