Tentative signs that inflation may be peaking in the region
“There are some tentative signs that inflation may be peaking in the region. The signs go beyond obvious year-on-year base effect or energy price swings: the month-on-month change of core HICP appears to have eased in the CE3. The slightly smoother 3m/3m rate of change shows the peak clearer.”
“It would be premature to celebrate yet, but the noticeable rally by the CE3 currencies – in particular, by the CZK and the HUF – is consistent with latest data.”
