Trading activity could gear up quickly to begin the abbreviated week with the key question still being how much further policymakers will have to boost rates. The inflation figures out of US are in the spotlight since an as-expected reading for December CPI figures would result in a pullback in the y/y headline rise to 6.5% from 7.1%, implying a cooling of inflation. For the UK, monthly GDP figure is in focus.
