The jump in factory costs

EURUSD trading plan:

German producer prices maintained their record-breaking rise in February, increasing 25.9% year on year mainly because of energy prices, Federal Statistics Office data showed. The jump in factory gate costs, considered a leading indicator for consumer prices, was the biggest since 1949, the statistics office said. The February figures continued a stretch of record increases since the office began compiling numbers, topping December and January's figures of 24.2% and 25% respectively. Energy prices were up 68% from February 2021, the statistics office said. Stripping out energy prices, producer prices rose 12.4% year on year. This is a negative signal for the European economy.

Investment idea: sell 1.1010 and take profit 1.0922.
