This is more true in Europe than the US. Most of the inflation there is due to (1) Increases in the price of energy and (2) Supply chain issues.
While those are also true in the US, much of the inflation in the US is due to wage increases (something like 40-50% of the inflation I believe). These are likely the result of a number of factors including the US having outsized stimulus relative to other developed countries (especially the fiscal stimulus).
So it is more reasonable for the Fed to consider tightening. And for the Europeans to be significantly slower on their tightening. Thus, what you are seeing in the currency markets where the EUR/USD is decreasing.
