what happened
According to TradingView, citing RTT News and dpa-AFX, Italy's preliminary HICP consumer price index for October climbed 5.6% from a year earlier, after 4.2% in September.
On a monthly basis, the reading came in at 1.2%, compared with 2.1% the previous month. So annual inflation picked up, even though the month-on-month pace was noticeably softer than in September.
why it matters
A faster annual inflation rate in a large eurozone economy can strengthen expectations of a tighter European Central Bank policy, which supports the euro and weighs on bonds, including Italian BTPs. This is a flash estimate, and the final figures may differ.

- EUR/USD pressure up — expectations of tighter ECB policy support the euro
