Inflation in the eurozone rose slightly in October, giving some hope that the spectre of deflation can be staved off.

The flash inflation figure of 0.4% for October was up from 0.3% in September, Eurostat said.

The services sector was the biggest influence on the rise, showing an increase of 1.2% compared with a 1.1% rise in September.

The eurozone’s unemployment rate remained unchanged at 11.5% in September compared with August.
