Europe inflation slips to 5.5% — but that won’t stop central bank rate hikes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:04:34 GMT

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Inflation in Europe slid again in June but fell too slowly to offer much relief to shoppers grumbling over price tags or to stop more interest rate hikes that will raise the cost of borrowing across the economy. The annual rate of 5.5% was down from 6.1% in May in the 20 countries that use the euro currency, the European Union statistics agency Eurostat said Friday.While that is a big drop from the peak of 10.6% in October, persistently high prices in the U.S., Europe and the United Kingdom pushed some of the world’s top central bankers to make clear they are going to keep raising rates and leave them there until inflation drops to their 2% goal considered best for the economy. Consumers saw relief on energy prices, which dropped 5.6% after last year’s crisis, while food price inflation was up 11.7%, easing from 12.5% in May. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and fuel and offers a clearer picture of longer-term price pressures, rose s...

Image captured by Mars rover shows a mysterious ‘doughnut’ on the planet’s surface

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:04:34 GMT

(CNN) — An image captured by the Mars rover Perseverance shows a mysterious doughnut-shaped rock on the red planet’s surface.Launched in July 2020, the Mars Perseverance rover continues to explore the planet’s 28-mile-wide (45-kilometer-wide) Jezero Crater for signs of ancient microbial life, according to NASA. The rover collects samples of rock and broken rock and soil (called regolith) for possible return to Earth by a future Mars mission.The Mars “doughnut” is one of the latest objects captured about 100 meters (roughly 328 feet) away in the delta of the Jezero Crater by the SuperCam Remote Micro-Imager — one of the rover’s cameras helping scientists see what’s on the planet’s surface.The Perseverance team hasn’t made the rover go closer to the doughnut-shaped rock to examine or sample it, so its exact makeup and origins are unknown, said Jim Rice, an assistant research scientist in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University. Rice, who is on the rover’s...

Strong service sector means no relief over eurozone inflation in June

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:04:34 GMT

Underlying inflation in the eurozone accelerated in June, with fresh evidence that labor-intensive services are now the biggest headache for the European Central Bank.While monthly headline inflation dropped to 5.5 percent from 6.1 percent in May, core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose to 5.4 percent from 5.3 percent. Prices for services, which form the largest part of the economy, rose 0.6 percent on the month. According to figures released on Friday by Eurostat, they were the only major component of the index that accelerated, but they did so by enough to completely offset slowing food inflation and absolute falls in energy prices. Falling energy prices, which were down 5.6 percent on the year in June, have brought headline inflation down from a peak of 10.6 percent in November. Food price inflation, which peaked at over 15 percent in March, also remains a problem. Prices for food, alcohol and tobacco rose 0.4 percent and were up 11.7 percent from a y...
