Eurozone headline inflation remained at 5.3% in August, slightly ahead of the market consensus of 5.1%, while core inflation fell to 5.3% from 5.5% in July, which was in line with expectations. Markets reacted with the rate-sensitive German 2-year bond dropping 7 basis points and the euro losing 0.5% against the dollar, reflecting a slightly lower chance of the European Central Bank hiking rates again on the 14 September.
