Eurozone inflation rose to ECB’s 2% target in June

Eurozone inflation rose to 2% in June, aligning with the European Central Bank’s target and increasing from May’s 1.9%. While the ECB has reduced rates to 2% since last summer, it is expected to pause further cuts, influenced by geopolitical events affecting oil prices and a stronger euro, which has appreciated nearly 14% against the US dollar this year.
