Italy July final CPI +0.3% vs +0.2% m/m prior

Latest data released by Istat - 13 August 2018

• Prior +0.2%
• Italy CPI +1.5% vs +1.3% y/y prior
• HICP -1.4% vs +0.2% m/m prior
• HICP +1.9% vs +1.9% y/y prior

Slight delay in the release by the source. A decent boost in headline inflation for the month of July, but the EU harmonised yearly estimate remains the same. A minor data point ahead of the final Eurozone figures due on Friday.
