The EUR/SEK currency pair settled below recent high of 11.1777, its strongest level since April 16th, after French and Spanish inflation figures for June outpaced market consensus.
France’s annual consumer inflation picked up to 0.9% in June, preliminary data showed, from 0.7% in May (the lowest rate since February 2021).
Spain’s annual CPI inflation picked up to 2.2% in June from 2% in May (the lowest rate since October 2024).
