Inflation in the Euro-zone climbed in April, surprising forecasts to the upside. The annual rate of the CPI is now running at 2.8%, stronger than the 2.7% seen in March. It's the highest inflation rate since October 2008. Higher inflation can dent consumer spending and we saw that in another report which saw a drop in German retail sales in March.
