Market gauge of euro zone inflation falls to six-week low
LONDON, July 13 (Reuters) - A key market gauge of long-term inflation expectations in the euro zone fell to its lowest level in six weeks on Friday, reflecting a view that global trade tensions could dampen economic growth and inflation.
The five-year, five-year breakeven forward rate — a measure tracked by the European Central Bank — fell to 1.7070 percent on Friday, a level last seen on May 31.
It has fallen sharply in recent days and is down from a high of 1.75 percent hit last month. (Reporting by Dhara Ranasinghe)
