Latest data released by Destatis - 28 February 2019
- Prior -1.3%
- Import price index +0.8% vs +1.2% y/y expected
- Prior +1.6%
Slight delay in the release by the source. A miss on expectations but this isn't a major release by any means. The data is a lagging indication of inflationary pressures and we'll even get February CPI figures later today so the release here doesn't hold much bearing for markets.
