In January, inflation in the Eurozone rose to 2.5% from December's estimate of 2.4%. Core inflation remained stable at 2.7%, with service price pressures slightly easing. The increase in inflation is primarily driven by higher energy costs, yet the European Central Bank (ECB) sees this as a temporary uptick amid disinflationary trends. Future interest rate adjustments, with a potential cut of 25 basis points anticipated in March, will depend on several factors, including external economic influences like U.S. tariffs and currency fluctuations.
Eurozone inflation rose to 2.5% in January, reflecting confidence from the ECB that current inflation trends are manageable and temporary.
Despite rising energy prices, core inflation remained stable, showing that underlying price pressures might be easing, paving the way for potential rate cuts.
