Latest data released by Destatis - 30 April 2019

  • Prior +0.5%
  • CPI +1.8% y/y
  • Prior +1.1%

Slight delay in the release by the source. Falls in-line with the earlier state readings though, as inflation creeps higher for the month of April. As mentioned earlier, this will feed into stronger expectations ahead of the national release later.

EUR/USD gets a bit of a bounce again to 1.1193 from 1.1185 upon the releases here but is holding just under the 1.1200 handle as near-term resistance levels and offers are still proving to be tough for buyers to break above.
