Scotiabank Notes Euro, Eurozone Government Bonds Ignore Soft CPI

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 01/07/26 08:59 AM EST

08:59 AM EST, 01/07/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Eurozone core consumer price index slipped to 2.3% year over year in December, down a tick from the prior month but still rangebound with 2.3%-2.4% readings since May, said Scotiabank after Wednesday's CPI release.

The euro (EUR) ignored the data, noted the bank.

Eurozone government bonds (EGB) were rallying before the release and ignored it too, stated Scotiabank.

The monthly seasonally unadjusted core CPI was the weakest on record compared to other months of December, added the bank.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
