- The eurozone annual inflation rate slowed to reach 6.9 percent in March, its lowest level since February 2022 and slightly below market consensus of 7.1 percent, a preliminary estimate showed.
- Still, the reading remained well above the European Central Bank's target of 2.0 percent, while the core index, which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, hit a fresh record high of 5.7 percent, putting pressure on policymakers to push on with further rate hikes.
