ECB's Lane says energy price surge may limit rate action

Original: ECB’s Lane: recent energy price surge a drag on growth, may limit need for ECB action

Philip Lane, the European Central Bank's chief economist, said the recent surge in energy prices is acting as a drag on eurozone growth and could reduce the need for further ECB policy action. Rising energy costs squeeze households and firms, so the shock itself may dampen demand enough to ease inflation pressure without additional tightening.

Why now: Markets and analysts are watching the ECB's next rate move and Lane's remarks signal a softer stance.
