August-Zahlen: Iran-Krieg treibt Preise im Großhandel
Energie und Rohstoffe sind deutlich teurer geworden. So stark sind die Preise im Großhandel schon lange nicht mehr gestiegen. Das könnte auch auf die Verbraucherpreise durchschlagen.
Wiesbaden: Prices in wholesale trade in Germany surged in August to their highest level in over five and a half years, according to the German Federal Statistics Office. The figures, released on August 10, show a 6.8% increase compared to the same month last year, surpassing the spike in February 2023 when prices rose by 9.5%. The office attributed the surge to ongoing military actions in Iran and the Middle East, which particularly affected wholesale prices for energy products and raw materials.
Mineral oil products, for instance, were 36.1% more expensive than a year earlier. Overall wholesale prices increased by 0.9% from July to August of the current year. Wholesale trade, along with imported goods prices and producer prices, all influence consumer prices that the European Central Bank (ECB) targets for monetary policy.
