MNI GLOBAL WEEK AHEAD - US CPI, UK Jobs/CPI and EZ/SW Data

TUESDAY - SWEDEN CPI

Tuesday sees the release Swedish October CPI, which is the last inflation print before the Riksbank's final monetary policy meeting of the year on November 23. September CPI was higher-than-expected and showed broad-based pricing pressure, most notably in the services sector. Given the Riksbank's data dependent stance as of the September meeting, October CPI - in particular the underlying core components - will be highly anticipated to gauge the likely outcome for policy rates in November. Current consensus is for an increase in Y/Y CPIF inflation to 4.4% (vs 4.0% prior) and a fall in CPIF ex-energy to 6.3% Y/Y (vs 6.9% prior). Next week also sees unemployment claims (Tuesday) and the October labour force survey (Friday).

TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY/FRIDAY - UK LABOUR MARKET, INFLATION AND RETAIL SALES

The week ahead will see a number of key UK data releases with labour market data, unemployment and retail sales all due for release.

Tuesday will see labour market data released, with average hourly earnings the most notable release. The MPC has been placing a bit less emphasis on this recently but it still has the potential to move markets. The rest of the labour market report will see the experimental unemployment numbers published again ahead of the ONS’s transition to the full new labour report by March.

The highlight of the UK data week will be inflation data on Wednesday. The Bank of England’s MPR forecast headline CPI to fall to 4.76%Y/Y in October while the consensus looks for a slightly larger fall to 4.7%Y/Y (from 6.65%Y/Y in September). This large move lower from September can largely be attributed to the introduction of negative base effects in consumer energy prices. In terms of other categories, the Bank of England expects services inflation to remain broadly at 6.9%Y/Y until the end of the year (6.89%Y/Y for October). In general this persistence in services inflation seems to be in contrast to expectations on the sell-side for a gradual fall into year-end. Core goods prices are also expected to fall, petrol prices are expected to have less of a negative contribution to the headline inflation rate while food price inflation is also expected to continue to fall (albeit it’s still expected to remain around 10%Y/Y).

Retail sales data on Friday also has market-moving potential but is quite a volatile series so harder to get an accurate read from.

TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY/FRIDAY - EZ GDP, INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AND FINAL HICP

Next week sees the flash release of Q3 Eurozone GDP and employment on Tuesday, September industrial production on Wednesday and final October HICP on Friday. The preliminary flash GDP estimate came in at 0.1% Y/Y and -0.1% Q/Q, while industrial production is expected to show continued weakness judging by the individual country prints already released (and will likely be dragged down further by a -27.0% Y/Y print from Ireland, reflecting contracting "manufacturing activity in the multinational sector", per the Irish Stats Office). Most interest though will be in the final HICP print, which will be released alongside the various underlying inflation metrics that the ECB pay particular attention to. The PCCI measure (regarded as one of the best underlying inflation indicators by the ECB) has been sticky above the 2% target for the last 3-months, hovering around 2.6%.

WEDNESDAY - US CPI

US CPI lands on Tuesday and will be closely watched as ever. The market has priced very low odds of further Fed tightening since the payrolls report on Nov 3, although Chair Powell using an IMF event to warn about being “misled by a few goods months of data” and that “inflation has given us a few head fakes” could see renewed sensitivity to signs of strength. Consensus puts core CPI at a 0.3% M/M whilst falling energy prices weigh on headline at 0.1% M/M (both seasonally adjusted). The annual reset of health insurance will provide an uplift but a change in methodology this year adds more uncertainty. This uplift could help see supercore inflation start to see some increasingly uncomfortable trend growth rates.
