Key Quotes
“We expect euro inflation to decline to a new cycle-low of 0.3% y/y in August”.
“The decline should follow due to lower energy price inflation, whereas core inflation is expected to remain stable at 0.8% and food price inflation should be less negative”.
“The persistent low inflation in the euro area has resulted in a considerable decline in market-based inflation expectations during August and another decline in actual inflation could result in new downward movements in inflation expectations”.
“However, we ‘only’ expect a very dovish stance from the ECB together with an announcement of further details about purchases of Asset Backed Securities”.
