GERMAN DATA: State CPI data broadly in line with expectation
Mar-31 08:08
- The first few German state CPIs look broadly in line with expectations. We have received states which make up around 85% of the index and it is currently tracking at 0.32%M/M.
- In the Bloomberg survey German national CPI (not HICP) estimates were split between 0.2-0.4%M/M: the median estimate is 0.3%M/M but the modal estimate is 0.4%M/M.
- So we are broadly in line with expectations.
- The Y/Y is also tracking at 2.20% (consensus is 2.2%).
- Note that surprises in state CPI do not always fully correlate with surprises in HICP.
