Teure Energie: Warnsignal für die Inflation: Erzeugerpreise springen im September drastisch nach oben
Erzeugerpreise gelten als Frühindikator für künftige Inflation. Im September steigen sie mit fast elf Prozent deutlich stärker, als es Ökonomen erwartet haben. Das hat vor allem einen Grund.
Berlin - Industrial producer prices in the Euro Zone surged sharply in September, according to Eurostat, the European statistics agency. Prices rose by 11.1% compared to the same month last year, slightly above economists' forecast of a 10.9% increase. The main driver behind the rise was high energy prices, which jumped by 30.8% in September compared to the previous year.
Manufacturing prices for capital goods, such as machinery and equipment, also increased by 2.7% in September. Consumer prices followed suit, rising by 4.0% in October, up from 3.8% in September, driven by expensive energy.
