Fundamental view
Spain’s final annualized index of consumer prices (CPI) probably declined 0.3% in July, unchanged from the preliminary estimate made on July 30th. The index measures the change in price levels of a basket of goods and services from consumer’s perspective and also reflects purchasing trends. In case the CPI drops less than projected, this would have a bullish effect on the euro. The National Institute of Statistics will release its official report at 7:00 GMT.
At the same time, the Spanish final annualized CPI, evaluated in accordance with Eurostat’s harmonized methodology, probably remained unchanged at -0.3% last month, matching the preliminary estimate.
Industrial production in the Euro zone probably rose 0.3% in June from the previous month, according to the median analyst’ estimate. In May, industrial output dropped 1.1%. On year-over-year basis, the index probably inched up 0.1% in June, following a 0.5% gain in the previous month.
Industrial production is an indicator of the business cycle that shows the activity and development in the industry as a whole, by measuring the change in volume for a certain period of time. Information on industrial production is raised through special studies for EU members, which are called Prodcom. They cover between 5 000 and 6 000 products. The index measures the percentage change from the previous month.
A larger than expected increase in the industrial output would heighten the appeal of the euro. The official report is due out at 09:00 GMT.
