Why Inflation Rate (CPI/HICP) matters for EUR
Central banks, including the European Central Bank, set policy rates in response to inflation. An above-target CPI print increases the probability of a rate hike, which is typically eur-positive, while below-target inflation raises rate-cut odds and can weaken the currency.
How to interpret this series
An inflation reading above consensus or above the European Central Bank's target band is hawkish and supports the eur. A downside surprise is dovish and tends to weigh on the currency, particularly when inflation has been trending lower for several months.
