Energy Prices Lead Eurozone PPI Higher

DATA REACT

Eurozone producer prices rose by 7.6% Y/Y in April, the fastest since 2008 - a sharp reversal from a cycle low of -5% in May 2020. The rise was led by energy prices (+20.4%), with intermediate goods costs rising by 6.9%.

  • The release brought little reaction, with expectations already at a high 7.5% (so a modest but unremarkable best), and PPI considered a 2nd tier data point.
