Key quotes
"September CPI and PPI data are due tomorrow at 9.30am local time."
"The consensus CPI inflation forecast is 1.7% YoY (prior 2.0%). For the PPI it’s -1.6% (prior -1.2%)."
"A high base effect in food component support the consensus forecast of lower CPI inflation. As elsewhere, food driving disinflation; the entire slowdown in headline inflation to 2.2% YTD in August from 2.6% in 2013 came from the food component (to 3.4% from 4.7%)."
"Good weather has delivered mostly downside inflation surprises in Asia. Falling oil prices make the inflation outlook as benign as we can remember."
"We see consider the 2.3% consensus forecast for 2014 inflation subject to downside risk (INGF 2.3%)."
