“The 2H14 energy price crash is associated with a step down in inflation (see figure); CPI inflation to 1.4% YoY YTD in October from 2.0% in 2014 and PPI inflation to -5.2% from -1.9%. The step downs will retrace when the commodity price crash moves to the base of comparison, which on ING’s forecast would be in early 2016.
