Germany's Wholesale Price Index rose 5.3% year on year in July and 0.2% month on month, missing a 0.4% forecast. Both source versions agree annual wholesale inflation remained elevated, but they differ on category detail: one cites higher energy and intermediate-goods costs, including mineral oil products up 12.1% and ores, metals and metal products up 8.4%, while an earlier German account reports steeper gains in non-ferrous ores, metals and semi-finished products, mineral oil products and chemical products. The surviving topic also still contains a separate Saudi Arabia July 2026 wholesale inflation report showing a 5.0% annual rise and flat monthly prices, which is unrelated to the Germany release and retained only as part of the existing record.
