Eurozone inflation accelerated in October, with the harmonized CPI up 2% year-on-year, exceeding expectations.
Today's slightly higher-than-expected inflation data, combined with yesterday's release of economic data in europe that exceeded expectations, has led investors to already scale back bets on a larger interest rate cut by the European Central Bank in 2024.
Although inflation in the euro area is higher than expected, it has already met the European Central Bank's target.
On October 31st, the inflation rate in the eurozone decreased faster than expected, reaching the target of the European Central Bank, and supporting the argument for gradually lowering interest rates. A slight decrease in energy costs is the main driving force behind the decline in inflation. The core inflation rate, which is closely watched, unexpectedly stabilized at 2.7%, while food prices rose faster. These data will support European Central Bank officials' warnings against significantly cutting interest rates to boost the weak economy in the euro area. Yesterday's eurozone economic growth data showed that the eurozone economy is more stable, and after Germany avoided an economic recession, investors have reduced their expectations for the European Central Bank today.
