FX.co ★ Eurozone Producer Prices Rise More than Expected

In July 2025, the industrial producer prices in the Eurozone experienced a month-over-month rise of 0.4%, surpassing market expectations of 0.2% and building on a 0.8% increase observed in June. This inflation was primarily driven by a substantial 1.5% rise in energy costs, following a notable 3.3% uptick in the previous month. Additional factors contributing to this upward trend included a 0.2% increase in durable consumer goods (compared to a 0.1% rise previously) and a 0.1% gain in capital goods, maintaining the same rate as in June. On the contrary, the prices of non-durable consumer goods remained unchanged (compared to a 0.1% increase in June), and prices for intermediate goods fell for the third consecutive month, decreasing by 0.2%. On an annual basis, the producer price inflation eased to 0.2% in July, down from 0.6% in June, yet it remained marginally above the consensus forecast of 0.1%.
