The elastic economy supports eurozone inflation.

Jin10 data May 2 news, Bert Colijn, an economist at ING Group, wrote that inflation in the Eurozone is unlikely to fall significantly in the future, as the underlying resilience of the economy offsets the suppressive effects of trade tariffs. Data released on Friday showed that prices in the Eurozone rose 2.2% year-on-year in April, remaining stable compared to the previous month. Colijn said that trade turmoil and the subsequent drop in energy prices have brought inflation close to the European Central Bank’s target of 2%. However, investors should not expect inflation to fall significantly in the coming months. He stated, “Even if the trade war initially suppressed inflationary pressures, the strong labor market and high wage growth in a well-performing Eurozone economy may keep inflation elevated to some extent in the coming months.”
