Investing.com -- Annual inflation in the eurozone rose to a fresh record high in June, climbing to 8.6%, according to a preliminary estimate from the EU's statistics office on Friday.
The increase, which is also up from the 8.1% May reading of the currency bloc's key consumer price index, was driven in particular by a spike in prices of energy and food.
As of 05:11 AM EST (0911 GMT), EUR/USD was trading down by -0.24% at 1.0457.
