There’s evidence of more deflationary pressure in the eurozone.
Industrial producer prices in August recorded their steepest decline since January, falling by 2.6 percent year-on-year and by 0.8 percent compared to July – more than expected.
The figures give an early indication of consumer inflation trends, as prices charged by industrial producers tend to have a knock-on effect in the shops.
Prices of durable consumer goods increased slightly in August but this was more than offset by another fall in energy prices – down by 2.6 percent month-on-month, 8.2 percent lower than a year earlier.
