The first CPI reading for August point to a faster-than-excpected price increase in the German economy, following the slight upward pressure displayed in the regional data from federal states. Core inflation (ex. food and energy) remained at 2.7% YoY, while services CPI persisted at 3.1%, showing signs of the ongoing stickiness despite realitvely weak demand.
Amoung most volatile categories, energy contributed the most downwards (-2.4%), in line with global trends due to lower oil prices, while food prices have grown 2.5%.
Initially muted EURUSD extended losses from recent hours, although the drop halted at 100-hour EMA, setting the stage for the volatiltiy to come with US PCE data release.
