Fundamental view

The annualized final consumer price index in the Euro zone, evaluated in accordance with Eurostat’s harmonized methodology, probably remained unchanged at 0.4% in July, matching the preliminary estimate reported on July 31st, that was the weakest since October 2009. In June the annualized final HICP stood at 0.5%, as reported on July 17th. The index shows the change in price levels of a basket of goods and services from consumer’s perspective and also reflects purchasing trends. The HICP is used to evaluate and compare inflation rates between Member States, according to Art . 121 of the Amsterdam’s Agreement and directives by the European Central Bank (ECB), in order to achieve price stability and the implementation of monetary policy. In case the HICP increased more than anticipated, thus, approaching the 2% inflation objective set by the ECB, this would support demand for the euro, because of the greater possibility of an interest rate hike. Eurostat is scheduled to release the official data at 9:00 GMT.

In addition, Euro zone’s preliminary annualized Gross Domestic Product probably expanded 0.7% during the second quarter of 2014, compared to a year ago. The quarterly GDP in the region probably inched up 0.1% in Q2, after a 0.2% increase in the first quarter of 2014. In case region’s economy expands more than expected, the single currency would receive support. Eurostat is to publish the official report at 9:00 GMT.
