French Inflation Eases to Lowest Since March as Oil Prices Drop

French inflation has slowed for the first time since the Iran war began, reaching its lowest level since March. This decline was driven by falling energy costs, which reduces pressure on the European Central Bank to continue raising interest rates. While the slowdown hints at potential economic stabilization, the ongoing conflict and volatile energy markets pose persistent risks. The trend reflects a significant shift in price pressures following the initial impact of the regional conflict.
