EUROPEAN INFLATION: Swiss Oct CPI Drop Appears Broad-Based
EUROPEAN INFLATION
Swiss CPI inflation printed below consensus at 0.6% in October (vs 0.8% cons; 0.8% prior), and 0.0% M/M (vs 0.0% cons; -0.3% prior). Core CPI also printed significantly below consensus, at 0.8% Y/Y (vs 1.0% cons and prior) and +0.1% M/M.
- This means inflation started off Q4 significantly below the 1.0% Y/Y SNB expectation for this quarter.
- The main categories appear to indicate that the headline drop vs September was quite broad based:
- Domestic 1.8% vs 2.0% prior
- Imported -3.1% vs -2.7% prior
- Services 1.9% vs 2.1% prior
- Goods -1.3% vs -0.9% prior
- Energy and fuels -1.9% vs -0.6% prior
- Housing rental inflation did not see its quarterly price update this month (due November).
