He pointed out that the impact of rising energy prices will disappear from year-on-year data, and the inflation rate will further decline due to the base effect. Meanwhile, wage inflation in countries such as France and Italy has also slowed. Stamer believes that, as a result, the core inflation rate of 2.3% in December may also move closer to the 2% target. However, he does not expect the ECB to cut interest rates further, partly because ECB President Christine Lagarde previously stated that the bank would neutralize the base effect.GameStop (GME.N) rose 4% in pre-market trading after the company announced it was awarding CEO Ryan Cohen a long-term performance bonus.GameStop (GME.N) announced that it has granted CEO Ryan Cohen a long-term performance award.
