TL;DR

Euro zone inflation rose to 2.6% in May, but market expectations remain firm on an interest rate cut from the European Central Bank next week. Despite the higher-than-expected inflation print, core inflation also increased slightly. The ECB is anticipated to cut rates at its June 6 meeting, marking the first reduction since 2019, with further cuts expected in 2024. The euro held steady against the U.S. dollar and British pound following the news.
