The Euro area's Q2 inflation outlook has eased with energy in recent weeks, but core strength means it is still on track to beat the ECB’s forecast by almost 2pp. We expect it to hike in Sep-22.

  • EA inflation increased again in Apr-22 to 7.5%, extending the trend to a fresh high. Surprisingly intense core pressures offset energy price declines.
  • Upside news was relatively broad-based for our forecast, albeit with Spain far weaker than the consensus expected amid deep energy price declines.
  • The Q2 inflation outlook has eased with energy, but it is still on track to beat the ECB’s forecast by almost 2pp. We still expect it to hike in Sep-22.
