The United States (US) Producer Price Index jumped to 6% on a yearly basis in April, following the 4.3% posted in March and largely surpassing the expected 4.9%. On a monthly basis, the PPI rose 1.4%, doubling the March reading of 0.7%, and much higher than the anticipated 0.5%.

Additional comments ECB needs to assess whether the energy shock spreads to inflation expectations, wages and core inflation. It’s worth preparing for a protracted conflict in the Strait of Hormuz. If events turned out differently, it would be easier to adjust. Key factors are the strength and duration of the energy shock and any broader pass-through into inflation. The energy shock is not, at least so far, quite comparable to the 2022 shock. The ECB is committed to keeping inflation stable around 2% over the medium term. Market reaction There seems to be no immediate impact of ECB R
