At 03:30 (GMT+2) in China, December data on the Consumer Price Index will be published, which is a key indicator of inflation in the country, reflecting changes in retail prices for a certain basket of goods and services (food, transport, utility costs, healthcare, etc.). It has a significant impact on monetary policy decisions. On an annual basis, the value is likely to be adjusted from 0.7% to 0.8%, and on a monthly basis — from 0.2% to –0.2%, which may influence the monetary authorities' decisions on adjusting the interest rate.
