Fundamentals
Euro zone
Italian industrial output
Annualized industrial production in Italy probably contracted for a fifth consecutive month, at a pace of 2.7% in November, according to the median forecast by experts, following another 3.0% drop in October. The latter has been the most considerable annual decline since August 2013, when output shrank 4.6%. Italian seasonally adjusted index of industrial production probably rose 0.1% in November compared to a month ago, neutralizing the 0.1% dip in October. The index reflects the change in overall inflation-adjusted value of output in sectors such as manufacturing, mining and utilities. In case output shrank more than anticipated, this would have a limited bearish effect on the common currency. The National Institute of Statistics (Istat) is to release the official industrial data at 9:00 GMT.
Sweden
Consumer inflation
Sweden’s annualized index of consumer prices (CPI) probably fell 0.6% in December, according to expectations, following a 0.2% drop in November. If so, this would be the lowest annual rate of inflation since March 2014, when a rate of -0.6% was reported. The index measures the change in price levels of a basket of goods and services from consumer’s perspective and also reflects purchasing trends. The nation’s annualized core CPI probably advanced 0.3% last month, after a 0.6% increase in November. In case consumer inflation was lower than anticipated, this would certainly lead to a sell-off of the local krone. Statistics Sweden is to release the official report at 8:30 GMT.
