Germany’s inflation expected to drop near 2%, alleviating ECB worries about persistent price pressures

The upcoming release of the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) inflation data from Germany is crucial due to its potential impact on the European Central Bank’s (ECB) policy decisions during its upcoming monetary policy review next month. The inflation data from Germany, to be released by Destatis on Thursday, is expected to show a slight decline in the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) and HICP in August, indicating a cooling of inflation in Europe’s largest economy. This could suggest softer inflation readings for the entire Eurozone, which will be published on Friday.

Dutch policymaker Klaas Knot recently suggested that the ECB could gradually lower interest rates as long as inflation is expected to reach its 2% target by the end of 2025. However, ECB Chief Economist Philip Lane expressed caution, stating that a restrictive monetary policy remains necessary to guide the disinflation process towards the target. The ECB’s decision on rates in September is still uncertain, pending further data and information.

The release of the HICP inflation report for Germany on Thursday could impact the EUR/USD pair, which has seen a recent uptrend. If the data shows higher-than-expected inflation, it could support expectations for an ECB rate hike and strengthen the Euro. Conversely, a negative surprise indicating a disinflationary trend could weaken the Euro and lead to a potential reversal in EUR/USD. Analysts suggest key price levels to watch for potential movements in the pair.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the average price change for goods and services purchased by households for consumption purposes, serving as a key indicator for inflation and purchasing trends. A high CPI reading is typically bullish for the Euro, while a low reading is bearish. The current percentage change of the Euro against major currencies shows a mixed performance, with Euro being the strongest against the Japanese Yen. Overall, the upcoming inflation data release for Germany will be closely watched for its impact on ECB policy decisions and currency movements.
