What it measures

This is the preliminary annual inflation rate for the euro area excluding energy, food, alcohol and tobacco, which tend to swing sharply. The ECB aims for 2% inflation over the medium term, and core inflation helps show whether underlying price pressure is easing toward that target.

Why it moves the EUR

A higher-than-expected core reading can lift the euro by making the ECB more likely to keep rates high or delay cuts. It is one of the more closely watched components of the flash inflation release, though headline inflation and wages also matter.
