FX.co ★ German Wholesale Price Growth Cools to 2.0% Month-on-Month in April

Germany’s Wholesale Price Index (WPI) showed a slowdown in momentum in April 2026, with month-on-month growth easing to 2.0%, down from 2.7% previously. The latest data, updated on 13 May 2026, indicate that price pressures at the wholesale level remain elevated but are expanding at a slightly more moderate pace than in the prior month.

On a month-over-month basis, the current 2.0% reading reflects how wholesale prices in April compared with March, while the previous 2.7% figure measured the change from February to March. The deceleration suggests some cooling in upstream price dynamics, which markets often watch closely for potential implications for broader inflation trends and corporate pricing power.
