This is the second reading, so it isn&#8217;t usually as market moving at the first reading. The data is expected to confirm the 2.4% year-on-year preliminary figure in November, which was down from 2.9% in October.<\/p>\n<p>The date comes after the German Ifo business climate unexpectedly declined in December and after weaker-than-expected PMI data earlier in the month.<\/p>\n<p>Cooling inflation combined with concerns that the eurozone economy could already be in a recession raise questions over the European Central Bank&#8217;s hawkish stance in last week\u2019s meeting.<\/p>\n<p>While the ECB left interest rates on hold as expected at the record 4%, ECB president Christine Lagarde also kicked back on rate cut expectations, saying that the central bank hadn&#8217;t even started to discuss rate cuts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pound (GBP) rises after 2 days of losses UK inflation data is due tomorrow Euro (EUR) looks to inflation data German IFO business climate fell The Pound Euro (GBP\/EUR) exchange is rising after two days of losses.
