Persistent Inflation Challenges Eurozone, Core Prices Higher Than Anticipated Inflation in the Eurozone slightly cooled to 2.6% in February, yet it remained above economists’ expectations, signaling a persistent inflationary pressure within the economy. Despite anticipations of a decline, core inflation, which excludes volatile items such as energy, food, alcohol, and tobacco, also exceeded forecasts at 3.1%. Notably, food, alcohol, and tobacco prices led with a 4% inflation rate, closely followed by services at 3.9%. Meanwhile, energy prices continued their downward trend, albeit at a slower pace, influenced by the ongoing geopolitical tensions stemming from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Layoffs rise to the highest for any February since 2009, Challenger says READ MORE Bank Of America Sees Gold At $3,000, Warns Of A Copper Supply Crisis: Metals ‘Dance To Their Own Tune’ READ MORE Sprott Money: Gold is About to Break Out READ MORE Silver: "It’s Time To BUCKLEUP" READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
