CPI inflation data for September from the Eurozone was released today at 10:00 am BST. Market was expected a slowdown from August in both headline and core gauges. Actual data confirmed those expectations with bigger-than-expected slowdown reported in both measures. However, this should not come as a surprise given that data from EMU members has been already released and strongly hinted at lower reading for whole euro area.
