Fundamentals

Producer prices
The annualized index of producer prices (PPI) probably fell 1.3% in October, according to market expectations, after a 1.4% decline in September. If so, this would be the highest level since July, when annualized producer inflation was recorded at -1.3%. The Producer Price Index measures changes in prices of goods and services either as they leave the production process, or as they enter it. Unlike the CPI, which measures price changes from the consumers perspective, the PPI basically gauges the prices received by domestic producers for their output, or the prices paid by domestic producers for their intermediate inputs. The PPI performance may be an early signal for inflationary pressure in economy. Generally speaking, a higher-than-expected PPI reading should be considered as having a bullish effect on the common currency, as it suggests accelerated consumer inflation, while a lower-than-expected result would have a bearish effect.
United States
Construction spending
The amount of spending on all types of construction in the United States probably increased 0.5% in November compared to a month ago, following a 0.4% drop in October. Spending on residential construction, as a component of overall construction spending, has a predictive value for new home sales and mortgage origination volume. A faster-than-expected rate of increase in spending on construction projects may have a limited bullish effect on the US dollar. The Census Bureau is to release its report on spending at 15:00 GMT.
