NORWAY
MNI's core inflation momentum indicator was broadly unchanged in November, with 3M/3M SAAR CPI-ATE inflation printing at +4.30% (vs +4.32% prior and +4.78% in September). This follows three successive declines and today's marginal decline signals a continued slowdown in trend underlying inflation pressures - a pre-requisite for the Norges Bank to hold rates according to their November policy guidance.
- In M/M SA terms, CPI-ATE rose +0.31% M/M, meaning it still tracks at a >2% annualised rate, but is well below the +0.71% M/M print seen in October.
- Component level data shows a softening in services ex-rent inflation to +5.7% Y/Y (vs +6.3% prior). While goods ex-energy rose to 7.2% Y/Y (vs +6.9% prior), this was due to the uptick in food prices seen in the latest month. Rents were a touch higher at 4.4% Y/Y (vs 4.3% prior), while energy became less negative at -15.0% Y/Y (vs -28.3% prior).
- The Q4 Regional Network survey in Norway did not signal a renewed uptick in wage pressures across sectors, which will be most relevant for the services sector, and should indicate continued softening of inflation pressures ahead. On the goods side, declining output expectations on the back of a weaker demand outlook should also help core goods soften in the coming months too.
