Over one month, consumer prices should edge down by 0.1% after +0.3% in December. Energy prices should sharply accelerate because of the increase in Brent crude and in taxation. Food prices should rise slightly. On the other hand, “manufactured product” prices should fell back significantly, due to the beginning of winter sales. Tobacco prices shoud edge down. Lastly, services prices should slow down.
Year on year, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices should increase faster than in the previous month (+1.5% after +1.2% in December). Over one month, it should edge down: −0.1% after +0.4%.
