Euro-zone Sept. Annual PPI Falls 7.7%
By William L. Watts
MarketWatch Pulse
LONDON -- September producer prices in the 16-nation euro zone were down 7.7% from the same month last year, the statistics agency Eurostat reported Wednesday. Compared to August, prices fell 0.4%. Both figures were in line with expectations. The euro saw little reaction to the data and remains up 0.3% versus the U.S. dollar at $1.4754. The drop was driven in large part by declines in energy prices. Energy prices were down 17.6% compared to September last year and fell 1.9% from August, Eurostat said. Excluding energy and construction prices, PPI fell at a year-on-year rate of 4.3%, while posting no change from August.
