Premarket: Stocks slip as investors cautiously await U.S. inflation data

European shares lost ground on Wednesday, mirroring a drop in Asian stock markets, as investors cautiously awaited U.S. inflation data that is expected to put the Federal Reserve on course to cut rates again, with the dollar holding near a two-week high.

The median forecast of economists polled by Reuters is for headline and core U.S. consumer prices increasing 0.3% month on month for November. No forecasts were above 0.3%, which analysts say leaves markets vulnerable to a surprise. The yuan fell around 0.3% to 7.2803 per dollar, with the Korean won and the China-sensitive Australian and New Zealand dollars also dipping.

“We think today’s Bank of Canada decision may have some read over to the US,” ING analysts wrote, noting that a 50 bps cut would signal a “strong view” that the Fed will cut rates by 25 bps next week.
