> What specifically happened in June to set this off?

Tariffs implemented by this administration:

  "Inflation has begun to show the first signs of tariff 
  pass-through," said Ellen Zentner, chief economic 
  strategist at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. "While 
  services inflation continues to moderate, the acceleration 
  in tariff-exposed goods in June is likely the first of 
  greater price pressures to come. The Fed will want to hold 
  steady as it awaits more data."[0]

The tariffs are bad, but you're simply wrong here - US tariffs do not affect global prices, it's OpenAI buying up production in advance and cornering the market.

Why did European prices have the same increase then?

Afraid not. This has not happened across the board to all components.
