German inflation rose to 2.9% in December, surpassing forecasts and supporting the European Central Bank's cautious approach to interest rate cuts. The increase is attributed to higher energy and food costs, which have also impacted short-term bond yields. While inflation has shown signs of stabilization, officials aim for a 2% target by year-end, amid ongoing economic pressures from the cost-of-living crisis following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
