Some argue that the supply chain is an added pressure for European inflation. The reopening might ease some of the inflationary pressures. However, Europe has faced the condition because of China's covid reopening, which is considered to push inflation higher in recent months.

China's decision to reopen its economy will increase Europe's inflation as the country competes for more energy. The condition sought by the European Central Bank is to create less inflation. Including some argue that reopening might work.

Europe has faced recent months with inflationary pressures impacted by supply chains. Others note that China will consume more energy, which will add to ongoing inflation. President Christine Algarde said Europe is among the latter group now.

China's reopening then became one of the things that impacted China as a whole. Not only that, but this condition can also positively affect the rest of the world. However, the ECB notes that inflationary pressure will make the world international.

European Share Gain on China's Reopening Optimism, So What Does It Mean?

"So there will be constraints, and more inflationary pressure will come and added demand," said Lagarde.

The international energy agency says that European Companies might face higher costs when looking to purchase natural gas this year. There will always be competition for the commodity too. So this is considered the biggest challenge for European citizens.

Before that, it was noted that the December inflation data came in at 9.2% in the Euro Zone. This is also related to the preliminary numbers, which are the second consecutive monthly drop in prices rising across the eurozone.

European shares soared on Friday, while investors feel optimistic about overcoming the potential impact of a week-long Lunar New Year holiday after China lifted Covid-19 curbs. Both of these also cause concern over the global economic slowdown.

From this data, it follows that energy stocks rose over 1%. Hopes of demand recovery are expected in the world. The pandemic restriction has made China considered a new threat to the world, especially in commodity consumption.

With China reopening after Covid-19, economic attention is not only directed to one dominant influence, namely the US. Now comes attention to China. Commodity consumption then causes world inflation to be further affected by it.

European Shares Close Up After Report, but Euro Hits 9-Month High as ECB Officials Press the Need for Continuing Rate Hikes

Amid worries about the economy being affected by China's economic movements, now the Euro has hit its highest level against the US Dollar in nine months as US Economic data invited speculation from the Fed's pivot zone.

Then this gives the need for an effective interest rate. The latest leg up came from much weaker-than-expected producer price inflation and retail sales data from the US. Analysts say this is proof that the US is now cooling, and the Euro is very significant. 

US bonds have benefited from the relative attractiveness as well, "Activity is more resilient than expected, and we should avoid recession this year," said Bank of France Governor Francois Villeroy de Galhau.

In addition, the interest rate increases in the near-term monetary policy, and inflation expectations keep it under control. "It has certainly been positive for stocks, and It does make sense for the ECB to be at least assessing the suitability of Lagarde's message.,”

“Since then, we have seen energy prices, most importantly, a fall back in the turn of inflationary pressure that has come softer than expected," said the expert analyst.

A decision by the Central Bank will now determine the European economy. This condition also made the president of the European Central Bank, Lagarde, pay special attention to China. He said that China's reopening could be a threat to Europe.
