0855 GMT - There are few signs of a pickup in eurozone inflation ahead, ING's Bert Colijn writes, after business surveys pointed to little acceleration in prices or the labor market. Purchasing managers' indices for the 20-nation eurozone showed the pace of input inflation softening this month, while selling prices were at their lowest since May. Employment was stable meanwhile, ending a six-month streak of progressive job creation, the surveys showed. That will help keep annual price inflation around the 2% mark targeted by policymakers at the European Central Bank, Colijn says. "If anything, it could go slightly below target, but nothing for the ECB to act on," he says. (joshua.kirby@wsj.com; @joshualeokirby)
