Inflation in the eurozone at its highest in three years

Price increases in the 21 eurozone countries reached 3.8% year-on-year in September, according to Eurostat's first estimate, mainly due to a surge in energy prices. This acceleration could lead to another rise in interest rates.

While on Europe, annual eurozone inflation rose from 3.2% in August to 3.8%.
Driven mainly by energy prices, the September print topped the consensus forecast of 3.6%, adding pressure on the ECB as economies deal with higher borrowing costs.

Die Inflation liegt im September bei 3,6 %. Ein wesentlicher Treiber kommt von außen: Laut @arbeiterkammer.at geht mehr als ein Drittel der Inflation auf die Folgen der von Donald Trump eskalierten Iran-Krise zurück. Diese "Trumpflation" kommt jetzt in Österreich an. (Team FStS) 1/4
