Price level excerpts from the IHS Market...>

EUROZONE: Price level excerpts from the IHS Market PMI reports:

-Spain: The rate of input cost inflation ticked up and remained sharp.

Meanwhile, output prices were raised following the first decline in almost 2

years in August.

-Germany: September signalled a moderation in the rate of input cost inflation

in the manufacturing sector for the fourth month in a row, touching its weakest

for a year. Despite this, the latest rise in average purchase prices was steep

overall, owing mainly to energy, basic metals (particularly steel) and metal

products.

-Eurozone: Price pressures remained most elevated in the capital goods sector.

Cost inflation was again elevated as the price of steel and oil-related goods

remained high and supply side shortages persisted. However, input price

inflation eased to the lowest in 13 months.
