The German Wholesale Price Index fell 1.5% in October despite expectations for a 0.9% decline.

Easing price pressures will certainly allow the European Central Bank to hold their dovish outlook, and may lead policy makers to lower borrowing costs even further over the coming months as the Euro-Zone teeters on the brink of a recession. Moreover, ECB President Trichet reiterated his dovish bias as he stated that a potential rate cut in December remains a possibility.
