Austria’s wholesale price momentum turned negative in October 2026, with the month‑over‑month indicator (not seasonally adjusted) falling to -0.2%, according to data updated on 6 November 2026. This marks a reversal from September 2026, when wholesale prices had risen by 1.9% compared with the previous month.
The October reading highlights a cooling in price dynamics at the wholesale level after a strong uptick in September. On a month‑over‑month basis, the latest figure compares the change in October to September, while the previous 1.9% result measured the change in September relative to August. The shift from robust growth to a slight decline suggests a moderation in cost pressures moving through Austria’s supply chain as the fourth quarter begins.
