Flash German CPI report for December was released today at 1:00 pm GMT. Report was expected to show an acceleration from 3.2% YoY reported for November to 3.7% YoY in December. State-level readings released earlier today all came in above previous months' readings.
Actual report showed CPI inflation for the whole Germany accelerating to 3.7% YoY, in-line with expectations. Monthly CPI came in at 0.1% MoM, also in-line with expectations. This echoes French reading released this morning, which also came in-line with expectations, but stands in contrast to Spanish reading released last week, that showed an unexpected deceleration. However, it should be said that the acceleration in Germany and France is largely due to base effects.
