What happened
UBS has raised its Eurozone inflation forecast, citing higher energy prices and a one-off increase in German healthcare costs as the main drivers for the revision. The bank's economists now expect headline inflation to reach 3.5% year-over-year in September, up from 3.2% in August. Annual average forecasts were also lifted to 2.9% for 2026 and 2.7% for 2027.
Why it matters
The increase in inflation is attributed entirely to higher energy inflation, while underlying measures remained relatively stable. The bank noted that rising inflation expectations were a key concern in August's data.
