Key Quotes
“The focus in Europe this morning has been dominated by the flash inflation prints. Spanish CPI was weaker than expected falling to -0.5% Y/Y (consensus: -0.3%, prior -0.25) and Belgian CPI fell to -0.1% Y/Y from +0.2%.”
“We have also had German regional CPI data this morning which are looking on the soft side too. We continue to expect the German HICP print to fall from 0.7% Y/Y to 0.5% but see downside risks after the regional prints.”
“We also had the release of better than expected German unemployment data and a speech from Draghi. Although he didn’t say anything new, his comments continue to be dovish but he refused to answer any questions on policy citing the blackout period ahead of next week’s ECB meeting.”
