“Germany will release consumer prices for April with the first Länder reporting early today. The German inflation data will give the first indication on the preliminary inflation data for the euro area to be released tomorrow. We expect German HICP inflation to have accelerated to 0.3% y/y in April from 0.1% y/y in March, mainly because of a less negative contribution from the lower oil price but core inflation could have edged slightly higher.”
