ICYMI - Eurozone CPI blasted higher in January, smashing expectations (& ECB complacency)

  • Headline inflation hit 5.1% against the 4.4% expected. Core inflation also surpassed the median estimate

  • Adding to some context on the headline reading, that's the largest upside surprise in the history of the HICP release.

ECB complacency on inflation looks similar to other discredited DM central banks around the place ...
