[Eurozone Inflation Slowdown: Market Sentiment and Trading Opportunities Coexist] ⑴ Eurozone headline inflation in August was 2.0% year-on-year, below the agency's forecast of 2.1% and only 0.1% month-on-month, reflecting weak demand. ⑵ Core inflation (excluding energy, food, alcohol, and tobacco) was 2.3% year-on-year, in line with expectations, and 0.3% month-on-month, indicating stable price pressures. ⑶ Food and alcohol prices rose to 3.2% year-on-year, but unprocessed food prices fell 0.4% month-on-month, indicating that supply-side fluctuations are affecting inflation. ⑷ Energy prices fell 2.0% year-on-year and 0.7% month-on-month, continuing to drag down overall inflation and highlighting the sluggish energy market. ⑸ Services inflation was 3.1% year-on-year and 0.3% month-on-month, remaining the primary driver of inflation, reflecting rising labor costs. ⑹ From a technical analysis perspective, EUR/USD has been recently influenced by inflation data, with the 1.10 level providing key support. A break below could test 1.09. ⑺ From a trading perspective, market expectations for an ECB rate cut are growing, and investors should be wary of short-term volatility triggered by the data. ⑻ Trump's tariff remarks have exacerbated market uncertainty. Euro assets may face pressure from risk aversion. We recommend focusing on risk management.
