Eurozone Inflation Data

• Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) (y/y), fact 1.0%, forecast 1.1%.
• Consumer Price Index (CPI) (y/y) (November), fact 2.0%, forecast 2.1%.
• Unemployment (oct), fact 8.1%, forecast 8.0%.

Preliminary  inflation data in the eurozone for November were very negative and didn’t meet the market expectations. At the same time, the main index of consumer prices returned to the level of early September, which slowed the upward dynamics. Additional pressure on the euro is exerted by the unemployment rate, which remains unchanged near the lows for the third month.
