12 December 2017

UK inflation: Tuesday, 9:30. Headline CPI reached the top of the range in both September and October, at 3% y/y. This is a result of the weaker pound, which in itself is a result of Brexit. The Bank of England forecasts a slide in inflation moving forward, and this will be the first test. The outcome also feeds into the rate decision later in the week. Expectations still remain high at 3%.

US PPI: Tuesday, 13:30. Producer prices advanced quite nicely in October, by 0.4% m/m and also core PPI followed suit with a rise by the same scale. Producer prices eventually feed into consumer prices and this publication serves as a hint towards the CPI on the following day. Another rise of 0.4% in headline PPI is predicted. Core PPI carries expectations for 0.2%.
