Latest data released by Destatis - 20 June 2018

- Prior +2.0%
Slight delay in the release by the source. As mentioned in the calendar preview, it's a lagging data point as we already had CPI figures earlier in the month and this acts as a gauge for inflationary pressures. But nonetheless, still a positive sign even if it's a minor data point.
