Inflation reading brings June in October
The flash estimate of CPI inflation in October is slightly below the consensus forecast (2.8% y/y vs. the expected 2.9% y/y). This means that inflation has returned to the level seen in June last year. However, the biggest surprise comes from core inflation which fell from 3.2% y/y in September to 2.9% y/y in October. In our opinion, today's reading determines that there will be an interest rate cut at the November meeting of the Monetary Policy Council.

Inflation has stagnated, the MPC has straddled
September flash reading of Poland's CPI surprised slightly to the downside, remaining at 2.9% year-on-year, below market expectations. The surprise stems primarily from lower food prices, while core inflation continues to decline very slowly. Today's data increases uncertainty about the timing of interest rate cut, although in our view, November remains the most likely date.

Rates in Poland will be cut this week
This week’s main event in Poland will be the MPC’s rate decision – we expect a cut by 25 bps. Other than that, the economic calendar will be dominated by readings from the core markets; NFP on Friday and final PMI readings in the first half of the week.

Entering a low inflation environment in Poland
The flash Poland's CPI reading for August was at 2.8% yoy, slightly lower than expected. Month-on-month prices fell by 0.1%. A decline in core inflation to approximately 3.1% yoy helped significantly here, suggesting a continuation of disinflationary trend in this category. In our view, we are entering a long-term low-inflation environment in Poland. These are excellent conditions for further interest rate cuts, the first should be at the September meeting.
