Tysk inflation sjunker till 2,7 procent till följd av bränslerabatt

Inflationstakten i Tyskland föll till 2,7 procent i maj. Nedgången beror på bränslerabatten och utgör ett undantag i euroområdet.

Enligt preliminär data sjönk inflationstakten till följd av bränslerabatten. Ekonomer ser dock ingen anledning till att blåsa faran över för euroområdet.

Europeiska centralbanken planerar likväl att höja styrräntan den 11 juni för första gången på tre år. Nedgången i Tyskland anses vara tillfällig.

Samtidigt publicerade den federala arbetsförmedlingen arbetsmarknadsstatistiken för maj. Dax-index stängde på fredagen på 25 104 punkter, i stort sett oförändrat.
