Capital markets' reaction was overblown. The implied yield for the December 2024 Fed Funds futures dropped by 25 basis points, as if October's CPI were worth a quarter-point cut in rates next year. The US 2- and 1-year yields have risen by around 2 basis points today. The dollar is mixed with the most pressure on the euro and sterling.

In October, headline inflation in the UK fell to 4.6% from 6.7% in Septembre. Separately the UK reported a deepening decline in input and output prices. The UK is expected ahead of the weekend to report an increase in retail sales of 0.5%, which if true would be the biggest increase in seven month. 

Eurostat confirmed yesterday that the eurozone's economy contracted by 0.1% during Q3. This makes the news from today about a 1,1% decline in industrial production in the Eurozone in September, redundant.

Sterling's best performance this year was a rise of 1.8%, pushing it above $1.2500. Today, sterling is trading below $1.25.
