Additional Quotes:
- Supply bottlenecks causing price rise is not real inflation.
- Does not see the environment in the euro area for persistent inflation.
- The ECB still has a lot to do to raise inflation.
The comments did little to influence the shared currency, or provide any meaningful impetus to the EUR/USD pair, which remains at the mercy of the USD price dynamics. The pair was last seen trading around the 1.2185 region, up over 0.10% for the day.
