The financial markets are waking up to a new week in less-than-favourable moods, overwhelmed by last week’s macroeconomic data. However, investors’ attention will quickly shift to the next important publication, which is the US inflation report on Wednesday.
Analysts’ expectations point to an increase in price pressures. December’s headline inflation was expected to be between 2.8–2.9%, indicating an increase compared to November’s 2.7% year-on-year and marking the third consecutive month of increases following the September reading, when headline inflation stood at 2.4% year-on-year. Meanwhile, core inflation is expected to remain at 3.3% year-on-year for the fourth consecutive month.

December’s reading should not yet reflect higher energy prices.
