Record high inflation of 5% in the euro area will cause a few red faces at the ECB but, on balance, there's really nothing to see here, writes Marcus Ashworth. Energy prices gained 26% annually but core inflation, excluding food and energy, was unchanged at 2.6%. ECB policy is not going to change. So be patient and breathe easier, the "hump" will come soon enough.
