Eurozone Oct CPI drops to 3.2% y/y (lowest since Jan) from 3.6%, further supporting expectations of a 50-bp ECB cut to 3.25% next Thursday. ECBs Bini Smaghi was unusually forthcoming earlier today about signaling further ECB rate cuts. The CPI drop does a great a deal in allaying fears of the ECB inflation bogeyman, especially after CPI being as high as 4.00% in June.
