Watching James watching that chart is almost as entertaining as watching the Wimbledon crowd following the exchanges between Federer and Djokovic……….almost

Europe With EU annual inflation coming in at 2.4% up from 2.2%, conventional wisdom might suggest that that might dampen the ECB’s enthusiasm for an early cut in EUR interest rates at the end of January.
