The headline reading is the lowest since June 2021, as monthly consumer prices also decline more than expected in November. The 3.2% reading does fit with estimations from the state readings earlier in the day, which were also much softer than anticipated. Core annual inflation is also presumed to decline to 3.8% this month, down from 4.3% in October, and that is another welcome development for the ECB at this point in time.
