FX.co ★ Eurozone Producer Prices Rebound Sharply in January

Industrial producer prices in the Euro Area increased by 0.7% month over month in January 2026, rebounding from a 0.3% decline in December and exceeding market expectations of a 0.2% rise. The recovery was primarily driven by higher energy prices (up 1.3% vs. down 1.2% in December), supported by stronger advances in intermediate goods (1.0% vs. 0.3%), durable consumer goods (0.8% vs. 0.2%), and capital goods (0.6% vs. 0.0%). By contrast, prices for non-durable consumer goods slipped 0.2%, deepening the 0.1% decline recorded in December. On a yearly basis, producer prices were 2.1% lower than a year earlier, following a 2.0% year-on-year drop in December.
