About Producer & Import Prices YoY — Switzerland
DEFINITION
Producer/Import Prices YoY is a financial indicator that measures the annual change in the prices of goods and services produced domestically or imported from other countries. It provides valuable insights into the overall inflationary pressures in the economy, as well as the cost of production for businesses. This indicator is closely monitored by economists, investors, and policymakers to assess the health of the economy and make informed decisions regarding monetary and fiscal policies. A higher YoY change in producer/import prices may indicate rising inflation, while a lower change may suggest deflationary pressures.
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Trade-balance and tariff data inform exchange-rate fundamentals and feed directly into GDP via the net-exports channel. The release is more useful as part of a longer-run signal than as a single-print catalyst. Released monthly.
WHAT CHANGED THIS MONTH
Latest reading (Apr 2013): actual -0.3 %, consensus -0.2 %.
WHAT'S NEXT
Sigmacast's 1-month forecast points to a higher reading versus the latest print. The 1-month and 3-month horizons disagree, suggesting a mixed signal. Trend-driven dynamics are the primary tailwind in the current projection. This indicator correlates most strongly with Euro STOXX 50 (Bearish Euro STOXX 50, r=-0.53) — a useful reference for index-focused traders.
