- Core inflation excluding energy climbed from 2.2% to 2.4%, signaling that energy price shocks are spreading to other economic sectors.
- Consumers expect persistent price rises, with median inflation forecasts at 4% over the next year, twice the ECB’s target.
- Financial markets almost fully price in a 25 basis point ECB rate increase in June despite concerns over its impact on growth and debt.
