Today’s reading will not provide us with details regarding each component’s contribution to growth. As usual, before the final reading for the country is released, we’ll be offered the partial data from various regions including Saxony, Brandenburg, Hesse or Bavaria. It’s also worth mentioning a package of soft indicators from the Eurozone which will be published at 10:00 am GMT. On top of that, the inflation data from Spain (preliminary) will be released at 8:00 am GMT and a 2% YoY increase is expected compared to a 2.3% rise previously.

In addition to the inflation data we will also get readings concerning personal income and spending for October - both are expected to by at 0.4% MoM. At the same time a print regarding initial jobless claims will come out and the figure is forecast to total 220k.
7:00 pm GMT - FOMC minutes: Having in mind the yesterday’s speech of Jerome Powell it could be remarkably interesting whether the Fed members discussed a possibility to switch to a more dovish tone at their latest meeting. Taking into account that markets’ perception has evolved in recent hours one may suppose that the account could constitute a downside risk for the greenback. However, we do not think that a next rate hike is at stake.
