Euro Zone Inflation Target Near ECB

Eurozone inflation rate fell more than forecast in January to a signal that the company cut prices to attract buyers while the unemployment rate remained at a record high at the end of 2012. Consumer inflation rate in the euro zone fell to 2% in January compared to a year ago, according to Eurostat pad Friday. Data was lower than economists forecast of 2.2%, which is also the level in the month of December. The unemployment rate remained at a record high at 11.7% in December, according to Eurostat, slightly lower than economists' forecasts for 11.3%. Currently, inflation is close to target of the European Central Bank, but the decline below 2%, and the unemployment rate reached a record high will give room for the ECB to cut interest rates again to stimulate the economy. However, improvement in the business sentiment in the euro zone for the third month in January as well as factory output increase indicate that the European bloc has passed the worst of the recession, which means that additional stimulus in the form of ECB rate cuts may not be necessary. "Inflation is still not really there," said Thomas Costerg, an economist at Standard Chartered in London. "Today, with inflation in Germany slowed, it will trigger a debate on how the ECB will ease policy," he said.

Euro creamed Sterling After Economic Data

Sterling currency fell sharply in afternoon trade weekend (1/2) due to exposure to 'cross' the single European currency, which the EURGBP rally up to the highest level 0.8647. The euro shot up to its highest level in 14 months against the Sterling primarily driven by the improvement in eurozone manufacturing figures that confirm that the worst of the crisis in the region has now passed. Eurozone manufacturing PMI figure rose to 47.9 in January from 47.5 previously. While the German manufacturing activity also jumped to 49.8 points from the previous period 48.8 48.8 and above expectations. While reports from the euro zone last Wednesday also clarify the view that the debt crisis that hit the region will not be as bad as previously thought.
