Lagarde speech: Difficult to say if inflation is at peak

European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde said on Tuesday it was difficult to say whether or not inflation has peaked in the euro area, as reported by Reuters.

"The minimum that we have to do is to stop stimulating demand," Lagarde added.
