Latest data released by Destatis - 18 May 2018
- Prior 0.0%
- Wholesale price index +1.4% y/y
- Prior +1.2%
The index measures the value of sales made by wholesalers in Germany, it provides an indicator of consumption and retail pattern.
A minor data point, but slightly improved to Q1 so that will at least ease some worries of a further deterioration on sentiment. Let's see if this will carry on to the larger data points like the PMI readings.
