That data is the October Producer Price index (PPI). This data is not widely expected to evidence any significant price pressure and perhaps the thing to watch for here, is whether the readings are above consensus. The markets expect annualised core PPI to rise at an unchanged level of 2.7%. Also out at 1.30pm GMT is the latest US retail sales report for October.
