Eurozone inflation rate is seen accelerating to 1.3 percent year-on-year in December 2019 from 1.0 percent in the previous month and in line with market consensus, a preliminary estimate showed. That should be the highest rate since June due to a rebound in energy prices (0.2 percent vs -3.2 percent) and a faster increase in unprocessed food cost (2.1 percent vs 1.8 percent). Meanwhile, inflation is likely to ease for services (1.8 percent vs 1.9 percent), while it is seen unchanged for non-energy industrial goods (at 0.4 percent) and processed food, alcohol & tobacco (at 2.0 percent). The core inflation rate, which excludes energy, food, alcohol & tobacco and at which the ECB looks at to decide on monetary policy, is set to hold steady at 1.3 percent.
