ECB’s Nagel: Central bank will react if Iran war pushes up inflation
Source Fxstreet
European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member and Germany's Bundesbank chief Joachim Nagel told Reuters on Wednesday that the central bank will be ready to act if surging energy costs due to the Iran war feed into durably higher Eurozone inflation.
Key quotes

The discussions about falling short of our inflation target are likely to be over for the time being.
At this point in time, however, it is still too early to reliably assess the medium- to long-term consequences given the volatile situation.
