### European Inflation Data Mixed as Swiss Producer Prices Jump and Spain Holds at 4.9%

European inflation data were mixed, with Switzerland reporting a sharp increase in producer prices while French and Spanish consumer inflation largely matched expectations.

Switzerland’s producer price index rose 0.9% month over month in October, well above the 0.2% forecast and up from 0.3% previously. The stronger reading points to a notable acceleration in upstream price pressures.

In France, consumer prices increased 0.4% month over month, matching expectations and reversing the previous month’s 0.3% decline. France’s harmonized CPI also rose 0.4%, in line with forecasts.

Spanish consumer inflation held at 4.9% year over year in October, exactly matching both expectations and the previous reading.

Spain’s harmonized CPI eased slightly to 4.9% from 5.0%, also matching the 4.9% forecast.

Overall, the data show persistent consumer inflation in Spain, stable price momentum in France and a much stronger-than-expected rise in Swiss producer prices.
