FXStreet (Guatemala) – Analysts at TD Securities explained the EZ’s deflation, oil and downside risks.
Key Quotes:
“Oil prices have fallen since the ECB’s September macroeconomic projections. This will result in a weaker ECB inflation forecast for 2016 in their December update, making room for further ECB easing at that meeting.
Sustained deflation is unlikely, however: even in an extreme case of $25/bbl oil, euro area inflation would average 0.2% in 2016.
As a rough rule of thumb, for each $10/bbl fall in Brent prices, euro area inflation would be roughly 0.25p.p. weaker in 2016.”
