What it measures

This preliminary figure measures how euro-area consumer prices changed from the same month a year earlier. The ECB’s medium-term target is 2%; traders judge a surprise by whether it changes the expected path toward that target.

Why it moves the EUR

A higher reading can lift the euro by making ECB rate cuts less likely or pushing expected cuts further out. Headline inflation can be affected by energy and food, so core inflation and wages help establish whether the signal is durable.
