Full explanation

German PPI (YoY) is the percentage change from the same month a year earlier in Destatis's index of producer prices for industrial products sold on the domestic market (index 2021=100, not seasonally adjusted). It measures the prices German producers receive at the factory gate, not import or wholesale prices.

Why traders watch it

Producer prices are an early signal of price pressure that can later pass through to consumer inflation.

Stronger vs weaker outcomes

A higher-than-expected reading points to stronger price pressure; a lower reading points the other way.
