The RF MGS Index fell by 0.15% to a four-month low of 904.793 points reflecting the further increase in long dated sovereign bond yields in both the euro area and the US. Data released today showed that euro area inflation edged higher to 2.1% in August, from 2.0% in July, exceeding expectations. The uptick was driven by a sharper increase in food prices and a slower rate of decline in energy costs which outweighed a drop in service prices. Furthermore, core inflation was also higher than anticipated at 2.3%, compared to a forecasted dip to 2.2%.
