Wednesday's German trading session brings better sentiment around Germany's largest companies. Investors are mainly focused on the Eurozone inflation reading. Investors will also learn about a number of readings from the US.
Today at 9:00 am BST, the CPI inflation reading for November for the entire Eurozone was released. The publication, as usual, follows the earlier release of data from EU member states, so it did not cause much of a reaction in the market. The market expected eurozone CPI inflation to fall from 10.6% y/y in October to 10.4% y/y in November. The actual reading showed a slowdown to 10.0% y/y.
