Inflation for October is expected to come in at 0.4%. That's a smidgen higher than the 0.3% reading in September, but far, far below the European Central Bank target for 2% price growth.

Growth is expected to come in at 0.1% for the third quarter. We've already got some major indicators of how each of the three largest eurozone economies is doing this morning.

German GDP rose 0.1%, narrowly avoiding a technical recession.

French GDP beat expectations, rising 0.3%, the fastest of the three (which says a lot).

Italian GDP dropped another 0.1%, keeping the country in recession. According to the Guardian's Graeme Wearden, Italy has now had stagnant or falling GDP for 13 quarters.
