However, when it comes to Germany, one should be wary that the country barely saw an increase in the unemployment rate in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Market consensus expected the German unemployment rate to stay unchanged at 5% in August.

As the decision seems to be made already, incoming inflation data may not have much of an impact on it. Nevertheless, significant deceleration of price growth could call for bigger stimulus package. German headline CPI is expected to slow from 1.7% to 1.5%. Earlier, data from Belgium (12:00 pm BST) and Spain (8:00 pm BST) will be released.
