In turn, there is a high chance that the reading for the whole euro area will show lower values as well. However, market consensus points to the headline CPI gauge staying unchanged at 1% YoY. Market reaction to the reading may be magnified by the speech of Olli Rehn, the Governor of the Bank of Finland and ECB member, as it will begin at 10:00 am BST as well.
