German June headline inflation printed 2.3% y/y and -0.3% m/m, undershooting consensus, while core pressures also moderated. French inflation slowed to 1.8% y/y and -0.2% m/m, well below expectations. Italian flash CPI eased to 3.0% y/y and 0.0% m/m.

Spanish inflation held at 3.2% y/y but rose 0.6% m/m. German retail sales surged 1.1% m/m and 1.8% y/y, and unemployment stayed at 6.3% with a 1,000-person drop in jobless claims. Spanish business confidence improved to -2.4.

The Day Ahead

Eurozone June flash HICP is due, with markets focused on whether the downtrend in Germany and France extends to the aggregate print. Germany will release final unemployment figures and any revisions to June CPI. Italy and Spain are scheduled to publish industrial production data.

Netherlands inflation will provide an additional regional read. No ECB speakers are listed, leaving the HICP release as the dominant driver for Bund yields and EUR crosses.

Global Macro News (continued)

Bitcoin edged 0.05% higher at $58,587.50 with limited spillover to euro crosses. Broader equity strength in Europe reflected improving growth signals rather than policy divergence. EUR/JPY rose 0.28% to 185.42 while EUR/GBP slipped 0.15% to 0.86.

ECB Watch

Softer June inflation prints across Germany, France and Italy reduce immediate pressure for further ECB tightening at the current 2.25% deposit rate. Markets now price roughly 75 bp of cumulative easing through end-2026, consistent with the observed 4-6 bp drop in Bund yields over the past week. The committee voted to hold rates, citing the need for more data on services stickiness before adjusting forward guidance.

No changes were announced to TPI or PEPP reinvestment parameters. Staff projections continue to flag risks of inflation remaining above target for longer, keeping terminal-rate pricing anchored near current levels.
