HICP and CPI drops into the negative for the first time since Oct & Sep 2009.

No prizes for guessing what drove inflation lower, you guessed it, the price of Bratwurst!

Only joking. Energy dropped -9.0% from -6.6% in Dec. Goods in general fell -2.0% from -1.2% prior. Services remain higher woth only a pip loss for household rents which came in at 1.3% vs 1.4% prior

The euro managed a 15 pip fall on the numbers
