#Eurozone #ServiceSector #Inflation #ECB #WageGrowth #CoreInflation #RateCut #CapitalEconomics #EconomicForecast
Eurozone service sector inflation is anticipated to decline further in the coming months, falling below the European Central Bank's (ECB) forecasts, according to a report by Jack Allen-Reynolds from Capital Economics. According to Jin10, the inflation rate for the service sector decreased from 3.4% in December to 3.2% in January, indicating a near-complete reversal of the upward trend observed from August to November last year. With wage growth slowing and other leading indicators signaling a downturn, service sector inflation is expected to continue its downward trajectory. This trend is likely to push the core inflation rate below 2% in the second half of this year, with the overall inflation rate dropping to below 1.5%. This projection is lower than the ECB's forecast, leading to an expectation of a rate cut by the end of the year.#Eurozone #ServiceSector #Inflation #ECB #WageGrowth #CoreInflation #RateCut #CapitalEconomics #EconomicForecast

Thailand's inflation rate remained in negative territory for the tenth consecutive month in January, marking the longest period of price decline since the pandemic began. According to Jin10, data released by Thailand's Ministry of Commerce on Thursday showed that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell by 0.66% year-on-year in January, exceeding economists' average forecast. On a month-to-month basis, prices decreased by 0.28%, also below market expectations. Excluding volatile energy and fresh food prices, the core inflation rate rose by 0.6% year-on-year, aligning with previous predictions. Natiya Suchinda, Deputy Director of the Trade Policy and Strategy Office at the Ministry of Commerce, stated in a briefing that consumer prices are expected to continue easing in the first quarter due to low global oil prices and government subsidies for electricity and fuel. She anticipates inflation will shift to 'mild positive growth' in the second quarter. Currently, the Ministry maintains its forecast for the overall inflation rate this year to be between 0% and 1%.#Thailand #inflation #CPI #ConsumerPriceIndex #economicforecast #negativeinflation #coreinflation #oilprices #governmentpolicy #economicoutlook #Thailandeconomy #globalinflation
🚀 European Central Bank Expected to Cut Rates Amid Economic Concerns
#EuropeanCentralBank #ratecut #economicconcerns #interestrates #eurozone #coreinflation #economicgrowth #forecast #ECB
The European Central Bank (ECB) is anticipated to lower interest rates in response to potential economic challenges, according to Andrew Kenningham, Chief European Economist at Capital Economics. According to Jin10, Kenningham suggests that the ECB's next move is likely to be a rate cut, driven by concerns that economic growth in the eurozone may fall short of expectations. Additionally, core inflation is projected to drop below 2% in the latter half of the year and remain subdued. The preliminary forecast indicates that the ECB may implement two 25-basis-point rate cuts this year, in September and December, reducing the deposit rate to 1.5%.#EuropeanCentralBank #ratecut #economicconcerns #interestrates #eurozone #coreinflation #economicgrowth #forecast #ECB

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has raised its cash rate by 25 basis points to 3.85%, citing concerns over persistent inflation. According to Jin10, the minutes from the recent meeting reveal that the committee members are worried about the risks to inflation and employment, which have significantly shifted. They believe that without policy intervention, inflation could remain elevated for an extended period.
The market anticipates that stubborn inflation in the current quarter might prompt the RBA to increase rates again in May, potentially reaching 4.10%. Analysts expect the first-quarter consumer price data, due at the end of April, to show core inflation around 3.4%, which is above the RBA's target range of 2% to 3%.
The committee acknowledges that future rate decisions will depend on data trends, with risks present in both directions.#ReserveBankOfAustralia #RBA #InterestRates #InflationConcerns #CashRate #EconomicPolicy #Australia #CentralBank #Inflation #Employment #RateHike #MarketExpectations #CoreInflation #ConsumerPriceData

Tokyo's core inflation rate has decreased to its slowest pace in over a year, influenced by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's utility subsidies aimed at reducing household energy expenses. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting the impact of these subsidies on the inflation rate. The easing of inflation in Tokyo suggests that the government's measures to alleviate energy costs are having a tangible effect on the economy. This development comes as a relief to households facing rising living costs, providing some respite amid broader economic challenges.

🚀 India's GDP Exceeds Expectations, Raising Concerns Over Future Interest Rate Hikes
#IndiaGDP #EconomicGrowth #InterestRateHikes #Inflation #CoreInflation #EconomicForecast #OxfordEconomics #InterestRateCuts #FoodPriceFluctuations #GDPData
India's GDP data has surpassed both market and expert expectations, according to Jin10. Alexandra Hermann, Chief Economist at the Oxford Economics Institute, noted that while methodological adjustments complicate year-on-year comparisons, the new statistical series indicates a potentially stronger structural growth trend. The impact of food price fluctuations on overall inflation is expected to diminish, and revisions to inflation data and national account series suggest more robust real economic growth. Consequently, the likelihood of further interest rate cuts is minimal. In fact, strong demand has driven core inflation rates higher, increasing the risk of interest rate hikes before the end of 2026.#IndiaGDP #EconomicGrowth #InterestRateHikes #Inflation #CoreInflation #EconomicForecast #OxfordEconomics #InterestRateCuts #FoodPriceFluctuations #GDPData

South Korea's overall inflation in February is expected to remain close to the central bank's 2% target level. According to Jin10, a survey conducted by The Wall Street Journal among 13 economists predicts a median increase of 2.1% year-on-year in the core consumer price index, following a 2.0% rise in January. The survey also anticipates a 0.4% month-on-month increase in the CPI for February, consistent with January's growth rate. Citigroup economist Jin-Wook Kim noted that the prices of energy and other industrial products, including processed foods, might have decreased from the previous month, potentially offsetting inflationary pressures from agricultural products. On the other hand, due to seasonal factors related to the New Year and the start of a new year, prices for a wide range of personal services may have risen.#SouthKorea #Inflation #CentralBank #Target #CPI #Economy #CoreInflation #ConsumerPriceIndex #Jin10 #Survey #Citigroup #EnergyPrices #AgriculturalProducts #PersonalServices

🚀 Economist Warns of Uncertain Eurozone Inflation Trajectory
#Eurozone #Inflation #EnergyPrices #ECB #MonetaryPolicy #EconomicForecast #AndrewKenningham #CapitalEconomics #PriceUncertainty #CoreInflation
According to Jin10, Capital Economics economist Andrew Kenningham stated in a report that despite the eurozone experiencing its largest monthly inflation increase since the end of 2022, the data does not clearly indicate how high prices will rise or how energy prices will impact broader inflation metrics. The overall inflation rate rose from 1.9% in February to 2.5% in March, primarily driven by fuel price increases. There is significant uncertainty regarding the transmission of energy prices to core and services inflation, as well as the European Central Bank's policy response. Kenningham predicts that by the end of 2026, overall inflation could rise to nearly 4%, with core inflation approaching 3%, largely depending on the duration of the Iran war. He suggests that both indicators might decline again in 2027.#Eurozone #Inflation #EnergyPrices #ECB #MonetaryPolicy #EconomicForecast #AndrewKenningham #CapitalEconomics #PriceUncertainty #CoreInflation
