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.
