Latest data released by Destatis - 28 November 2019

  • Prior +0.1%
  • CPI +1.1% y/y
  • Prior +1.0%

The drop in the monthly headline reading is a little misleading as the annual print is seen improving from October with the core reading also seen improving to +1.6% y/y in November from +1.4% y/y last month.

This should help to reaffirm some decent price pressure still holding up in Germany despite a bit of a drop over the last few months. But again, as long as the core reading is seen faring better, that should help provide some comfort to policymakers.
