ECB’s Lagarde warns inflation risks persist as energy and AI trends diverge
European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde crossed the wires on Thursday and said that “the current situation is made hard by the energy shock and AI pulling in opposite directions.”
Lagarde said that it is “Still necessary to apply tools to avoid inflation running away,” and doesn’t expect “US tariffs to be revisited right away.”
