German flash CPI inflation data for February was released today at 1:00 pm GMT. Market was expecting slowdown in headline CPI from 2.9% to 2.6% YoY. However, data from France and Spain released earlier today showed smaller-than-expected slowdown in price growth, raising fears that German reading will also surprise to the upside. State-level data released throughout the day strongly hinted that overall German reading will show a slowdown.
Actual German reading stood in contrast to French and Spanish data as headline CPI inflation in Germany slowed more than expected in February. On a monthly basis, price growth was slower than expected. EUR dipped following the release as data can be seen as dovish. Interestingly, a small drop could also be spotted on DE40 market.
