Eurozone inflation sinks to 2y low as Eurozone economy shrinks:
CPI slowed to 2.9% in Oct, down from 4.3% and better than expected 3.1%. But Core CPI – that excluding food & energy is retreating less rapidly. It moderated to 4.2% in October from 4.5% the previous month. Our take: disinflationary trend is firmly in place in the EZ although wage inf’still stickiness and more difficult comps in H2 prevent core inflation to decline more meaningfully. We believe there is enough progress for the ECB to stay put (i.e rates hike cycle is over) and potentially cut rates next year if EZ economy slows down meaningfully Source: HolgerZ, Bloomberg
