Solid Progress In Sequential Core Inflation

GERMAN DATA

The Bundesbank's estimate of seasonally-adjusted CPI released this afternoon shows some pretty solid sequential progress on core metrics:

  • 0.177% M/M CPI ex-energy/food (2.2% annualised), one of the lowest readings of the past 2 years and vs 0.36% in Aug, with manufactured goods ex-energy/food at -0.17% M/M, the first drop since March 2021 and vs +0.61% in Aug.
  • Services were actually a little stronger at 0.36% M/M vs 0.27% in Aug but below the 0.42% average the 12 months prior that.
  • It's CPI and not HICP and it's still early days but in general there is evident progress in the core metrics that should feed into the Eurozone wide metrics.
