Even the monthly estimates here point to a marginal drop across the board. The breakdown shows monthly inflation falling in Bavaria (-0.2%), Saxony (-0.2%), North Rhine Westphalia (-0.2%), and Baden Wuerttemberg (-0.3%).<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">Overall, that points to slightly softer headline annual inflation estimates when compared to April. That being said, they still represent a modest jump since the Middle East conflict began. And given the state of things, we are likely to see price pressures continue to stay underpinned going into the summer months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">And as energy price inflation becomes more embedded into other categories, that will risk seeing a further increase in prices in Q3 and even in the months after towards the end of this year. So, just be wary of that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">Circling back to the numbers here, this likely points to the national reading later coming in around 2.6% at the balance. And that will be off the expected 2.9% reading, which was also the April estimate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">If anything, this points to some moderation in energy prices since last month. But in the overall picture, core inflation\/prices will still be the main focus for markets and the ECB.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Justin Low at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are all the state readings released around the same time: Bavaria CPI +2.6% vs +2.9% y\/y prior Saxony CPI +2.7% vs +3.0% y\/y prior North Rhine Westphalia CPI +2.4% vs +2.7% y\/y prior Baden Wuerttemberg CPI +2.4% vs +2.6% y\/y prior It&#8217;s a bit of a change up compared to the preliminary readings for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-431134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=431134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431134\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=431134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=431134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=431134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
