Consumer Price Index and Core (USD, GMT 13:30) – The US inflation in October is expected grow by 0.7% for the headline and 0.5% for the core, following respective September gains of 0.4% and 0.6%. CPI gasoline prices look poised to rise 5% in October. We expect dissipating upward pressure on core prices into year-end from global supply chain issues and the war in Ukraine, despite recent upside surprises. As-expected October CPI figures would result in a pullback in the y/y headline rise to 8.0% from 8.2% in September, versus a 40-year high of 9.1% in June. We expect the core y/y gain to slow to 6.5%, after a bounce to a 40-year high of 6.6%. For October PCE y/y chain price gains, we expect respective increases of 6.3% and 5.2% that sit below prior 40-year and 39-year highs of a respective 7.0% in June and 5.5% in February. We expect a sharp moderation in y/y gains for all the inflation gauges into early-2023 that will trim pressure on the Fed to rapidly remove policy accommodation.
Speeches: Gov. Board Member Maechler (CHF, GMT 12:30), BOC Gov. Macklem (CAD, GMT 16:50), FOMC Member Mester (USD, GMT 17:30), FOMC Member George (USD, GMT 18:30)

The BOE’s predicts a long-lasting recession, with activity expected to decline by around 3/4% in the second half of this year, and to continue to fall throughout 2023 and the first half of 2024 “as high energy prices and materially tighter financial conditions weigh on spending.” In this environment the unemployment rate is seen rising to just under 6.5% by the end of the forecast period and aggregate slack to hit 3% of potential GDP.
