Key Quotes

“Today we will have the single most important data release before the ECB meeting with the euro-zone flash HICP estimate for May”.

“The decline in the German, Italian and Spanish inflation readings (covering close to 60% of the euro HICP) has led to a down revision in expectations and we probably need a print below 0.5% y/y for rates to decline further in the front of the EUR curve and add to the vast expectations of ECB action Thursday”.
