The increase in inflation was unexpectedly large. The average forecast among analysts was that it would be 0.7 percent in June, according to the EU-harmonized measure, according to Bloomberg.

The same upward trend for inflation is seen in preliminary calculations from Spain, which show that consumer prices rose by 2.2 percent in annual terms in June. There, inflation was 2.0 percent in May.

In Spain, the increased inflation pressure was in line with market expectations.

Preliminary inflation figures for June from the euro zone's largest economy, Germany, will be reported on Monday, June 30.

A higher inflation pressure can be crucial decision-making basis for the European Central Bank (ECB), which is already expected to cut the interest rate by 0.25 percentage points at least once more this year but may be forced to wait if inflation rises.

Swedish preliminary inflation figures for June will come on July 7.
