EA: Disinflation Not Petering Out

SUMMARY
  • The flash EA HICP inflation rate was marginally trimmed in August’s final print, causing it to round lower from 5.24%, while the ex-tobacco rate still printed at 5.2%.
  • Resurgent petrol prices prevented inflation from slowing by more, but powerful base effects in September should re-establish the steep trend decline.
  • Underlying inflation continues slowing to the extent that the monthly impulse is no longer significantly above target, which should spare the ECB from hiking again.
