The euro weakened as data today showed European inflation stayed above target in August, even as the region’s economy shows signs of faltering. Inflation remained at 2.5 percent, the European Union’s statistics office in Luxembourg said today in an initial estimate.
That was in line with the median of 35 economists’ estimates in a Bloomberg survey. The European Central Bank aims to keep inflation just below 2 percent over the medium term.
