The Eurozones overall inflation rate fell to 2.8% in June from 3.2% in May, below the expected 3.0%; inflation in food, energy, and services prices all slowed. Meanwhile, inflation excluding volatile food and fuel prices fell to 2.4% from 2.6%, with services price inflation falling to 3.2% from 3.5%. Although the June figures remain well above the ECBs 2% target, recent oil price declines driven by market bets on a US-Iran peace agreement have fueled optimism that price pressures may be easing and the widespread negative impact of soaring energy prices will remain limited. In fact, several ECB policymakers have stated that the ECB does not need to rush into action this month, and policymakers have time to observe the evolution of price pressures.
