LATAM
  • Colombia unemployment and Mexico net outstanding loans data remain on Thursday’s LatAm docket. Additionally, Argentina consumer confidence may be published. It is worth noting that Colombia’s central bank board are meeting but there will be no rate decision today.
  • Eurozone inflation slowed markedly in November, with the headline rate dipping to 2.4% from 2.9% in October, and with prices falling 0.5% m/m. Core inflation, which excludes energy, food, alcohol and tobacco, and is closely watched by many of the ECB's Governing Council, also slowed sharply, with prices falling 0.6% m/m and the annual rate at 3.6%.
  • OPEC+ is due to hold its meeting later Thursday with talks of further cuts being discussed but no confirmation around agreement by the group - while a rollover appears more likely.
  • Israel and Hamas have extended their temporary truce by another day, with Hamas-held hostages set to be released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israel. The exact terms of this newest truce extension remain unclear.
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold a large-scale talk-show event on Dec. 14, reviving a once annual occurrence that he skipped last year amid his war against Ukraine.
