Producer prices of industrial products fell 4.2% on the month, due primarily to dips in prices for electricity and distributed natural gas, Germany's Federal Statistical Office said today.

German producer prices posted their first monthly fall in two and a half years in October, according to data released today.

Producer price growth has fed into overall inflation at a faster pace in the past year than normal, so any broader reversal in pipeline pressures could reinforce expectations for consumer price growth to peak in the fourth quarter. Commerzbank's Ralph Solveen said the figures"give cause for hope the inflation rate for consumer prices will also soon reach its peak. However, this does not mean that the inflation problem is over."
