* German Jan HICP – Expectations -While the German HICP rates are above the Eurozone average now, base effects from lower energy prices continue to keep the headline rate below the ECB’s 2% limit. The preliminary January reading should be at 1.8% y/y .

* ADP Employment – Expectations –The January ADP Employment report should reveal a 195k gain for the month, after a 271k December gain.

That will be followed by Chairman Powell’s press conference, which will now be a regular affair at each meeting, although forecasts will continue to be published quarterly. No one expects any action on rates tomorrow (including IOER). We expect the statement to include the new watchword “patient,” along with “flexible,” with the latter perhaps a nod to the balance sheet, and stress on data dependency.
