02.06.202609:00:00UTC+00Euro Zone Core Inflation Ticks Up to 2.3% in May, Signaling Persistent Price Pressures

Core inflation in the Euro Zone, measured by the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices excluding energy and food (HICP ex Energy & Food), edged higher in May 2026, underscoring persistent underlying price pressures in the currency bloc.

The indicator rose to 2.3% year-over-year in May 2026, up from 2.1% in April 2026. Both figures compare prices in each respective month with the same month a year earlier, highlighting a modest but notable acceleration in core inflation dynamics.

The data, updated on 2 June 2026, will likely draw attention from policymakers and market participants as they assess the durability of disinflation trends in the Euro Zone. The uptick suggests that, even as headline inflation may be influenced by volatile energy and food components, underlying price growth in other categories remains relatively firm.
