Key Quotes
“German November PPI inflation has slumped by -2.5% y/y, a little weaker than expected. As the outlook for Eurozone inflation softens, longer-dated German bunds have been outperforming.”
“While the US data calendar today is limited to the release of the Chicago Fed activity index, there is plenty on the slate for the rest of the week to pique the market’s interest ahead of the Christmas break at the end of the week. US Q3 GDP revision, durable goods and PCE inflation data are all scheduled. The Fed’s favoured inflation measure is expected to remain at a subdued 1.3% y/y for the core index.”
