Latest data released by Destatis - 29 January 2020

  • Prior +0.5%
  • Import price index -0.7% vs -0.7% y/y expected
  • Prior -2.1%

Slight delay in the release by the source. A mild improvement and the good news is that import prices are seen recovering after a slump in the early stages of last year. That said, this is a lagging indicator as we already had consumer inflation data earlier.
