Inflation data shows a mixed picture across the euro area. In Spain, headline HICP inflation held exactly in line with the preliminary estimate at 3.2% y/y, up from 3.0% previously, signalling that underlying price pressures remain sticky. Alongside similar signs from Germany, this supports the case for the ECB to keep rates unchanged through the end of the year.
In France, headline inflation softened to 0.8% y/y, just below the 0.9% preliminary reading and 1.1% y/y in September.
