Eurozone long-term inflation gauge hits 2% for first time since 2014 – Reuters

According to Reuters, a key market gauge of the long-term inflation gauge in the eurozone hit 2% for the first time since 2014. 

"The five-year, five-year breakeven inflation forward has risen from just under 1.30% at the start of the year, driven by recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and elevated current inflation readings spurred on by supply bottlenecks and high energy prices," Reuters explained.
