At 12:00 (GMT+2), EU data on the consumer price index for December will be published — the main indicator of the inflation rate in the country, which reflects the change in retail prices for a certain "basket" of goods and services: food, transport, utilities, healthcare, and so on, and has a significant impact on decisions of the European Central Bank (ECB) in the field of monetary policy. It is expected to adjust from −0.3% to 0.4% MoM and from 2.2% to 2.4% YoY, while the core monthly value is likely to rise from −0.6% to 0.5%, and the annual value will remain around 2.7%.
