Germany October import price index +1.0% vs +0.4% m/m expected

Latest data released by Destatis - 30 November 2018

• Prior +0.4%
• Import price index +4.8% vs +4.2% y/y expected

Slight delay in the release by the source. This is very much a lagging data point as it acts as a proxy for inflationary pressures and we already had November preliminary CPI figures released yesterday. A non-significant release.
