The German Core CPI Y/Y rose to 2.5% from 2.3% prior.That’s due to a pullback in energy prices but the ECB is more focused on underlying inflation pressures and the risk of second-round effects if the situation in the Strait of Hormuz persists longer than expected.As a reminder, the ECB is widely expected to deliver an “insurance” 25 bps rate hike in June and pause at least until September to see how the data and the US-Iran situation evolves over the summer.

đĄ DMK Insight
Germany’s inflation data just missed expectations, and here’s why that matters: The Core CPI coming in at 2.5% against a 2.3% prior reading signals persistent inflationary pressures, despite lower regional readings. This divergence could lead to a reassessment of the ECB’s monetary policy, especially with the market already pricing in a cautious approach. Traders should keep an eye on the Euro against the USD, as a weaker inflation outlook might prompt a sell-off in the Euro if the ECB signals a pause in rate hikes. Look for key support levels around recent lows; if the Euro breaks below those, we could see further downside. On the flip side, if the ECB maintains a hawkish stance despite this data, it could surprise the market. So, watch for any statements from ECB officials in the coming days that might hint at their next moves. The immediate focus should be on how the market reacts to this data, especially in the context of upcoming economic indicators. Keep an eye on the next inflation report and any shifts in sentiment from institutional players, as they could drive volatility in both the Euro and related assets.
đŽ Takeaway
Watch the Euro against the USD closely; a break below recent support levels could signal further downside if the ECB shifts its stance on inflation.
