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 Janet Yellen warns inflation decline might not be ‘smooth’ READ MORE Gold pulls back, traders hunker down for interest-rate cues READ MORE IMF's Brighter Global Outlook: U.S. Strength and China's Stimulus Lead the Charge READ MORE Gold Prices are Dropping.
