what happened
France's national consumer price index for September fell 0.3% month on month, matching the flash estimate. On an annual basis, inflation accelerated to 3.1%, up from 3.0% in the flash reading and 2.4% in August.
The harmonised index (HICP) declined 0.3% m/m, while the flash estimate had shown a 0.4% drop. In August, the monthly rise was 0.7%. The figures were reported by RTT News/dpa-AFX.
why it matters
The gap between a monthly price decline and higher annual inflation points to a sharp move in prices in September against last year's base. For markets, the inflation trend matters ahead of ECB decisions, since rate expectations feed into the euro and yields on French OAT government bonds. This is a summary of data, not a forecast or a recommendation.
