Wednesday preview: UK CPI, Q4 euro area GDP in focus

Inflation concerns will continue to be front and centre on investors' minds in the middle of the week.

At 0730 GMT, the Office for National Statistics is scheduled to publish reports for consumer and producer prices in the UK during the month of January.

The annual rate of increase in core consumer prices is forecast to have ticked up by one tenth of a percentage point from the month before to reach 5.2%.

No major economic data are scheduled in the U.S..

Across the Channel, markets' attention will likely be on a preliminary reading for fourth quarter gross domestic product growth in the UK.
