- Inflation fell sharply in November; it will rebound in December, but what will happen in January?

- Timely indicators of house-purchase demand have strengthened, but not by quite enough to raise prices yet.

Ian Shepherdson (Chief Economist, Chairman and Founder)US
- Singaporean export growth finally returned to the black in November after 13 months…

- Net exports are poised to lift GDP growth in Q4, but by how much? We look for a 0.1pp rise.
- Export growth will rebound next year, but we think imports will recover relatively more.
- We believe rising goods imports will weigh on net exports and GDP growth in 2024.
Claus Vistesen (Chief Eurozone Economist)Eurozone
- Ofgem likely will reduce its default tariff cap by 10% in April, if wholesale prices remain at their current level.
- Current weights imply this will reduce the all-items CPI by 0.5pp; the drag might be larger after weight updates.
