France inflation remains steady
France's non-seasonally adjusted (NSA) consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.4% month over month, matching market expectations and the previous reading.
Annual consumer inflation held steady at 3.4%, in line with both forecasts and the previous period.
Meanwhile, the final annual harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) came in at 3.7%, below the 3.8% forecast and previous reading. The figures indicated stable inflation under the national measure, while the slightly lower harmonized rate could influence expectations for European Central Bank (ECB) monetary policy.
