However, core inflation still showed an increase of 5.2% YoY, compared to 5.0%. A reading of a number of data from the US, such as: Nonfarm Payroll (Dec.) of 223k (vs. previous 256k), Unemployment Rate (Dec.) of 3.5% (lower than the previous: 3.6%), and ISM Non manufacturing PMI (Dec.) at 49.6 (vs. previous: 56.5) closed out last week’s economic calendar with several considerations around how the data will affect US central bank’s monetary policy.
