Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the inflation rate in Germany had risen to 3.3 percent in September 2026, according to the Federal Statistical Office, up from 2.9 percent in August and 2.8 percent in July. This was the highest level since December 2023. Energy had become 14.9 percent more expensive in the course of a year, fuels by 37.1 percent, and heating oil by 74.9 percent. Core inflation stood at 2.4 percent. According to Boeminghaus, the higher energy costs had further burdened consumers and businesses and increased the pressure on the already difficult economic situation in Germany. https://t.co/SXaKTQhjE9 #Inflation #Deutschland #Wirtschaft (translated)

The author wrote that people expected solutions against inflation as well as for good healthcare, secure jobs, and a strong economy. The federal government should focus on this; speculation about new elections is not appropriate at this time. #Teuerung #Gesundheitsversorgung #Arbeitsplätze #DE (translated)

Life in Germany is getting more and more expensive. In September, inflation rose to over three percent. In terms of energy, the increase is even at 14.9 percent. The biggest price driver is fuel. Consumers had to pay almost 50 percent more for fuel in September compared to a year earlier. And what is the federal government doing? They are giving citizens a measly 17 cents, which doesn't even fully reach the consumer. The fuel discount, which comes into effect on October 1 after months of inaction by the Merz government, is a bad joke considering the enormous inflation! Not 17 cents, one euro would be appropriate! A price cap of 1.50 euros for fuel in Germany is urgently needed. This is possible if the CO2 price is abolished, the energy tax is halved, and the value-added tax on fuel and energy is reduced to 7 percent. #Inflation #Energiepreise #Kraftstoffpreise (translated)

The US inflation has fallen overnight by 0.3 percentage points. Not a single price has decreased because of this. The calculation method has changed, retroactively to 2021. For July, the US statistics agency previously reported a core inflation of 3.3% (excluding energy and food), now it shows 3.0%. For August, 3.0% was recorded, although economists had expected 3.3%. On paper, this is a clear decline. Three areas were adjusted: software, legal consulting, and asset management. The last one best illustrates the problem. An advisor charges a 1% fee on your portfolio. If the stock market rises by 20%, you pay 20% more in dollars, even though he has never raised his rate. Statistics had previously counted this as a price increase. In May, this inflation was at 21.6%; using the new method, it would be 14.3%. The Canadian bank RBC estimates that the new method alone pushes core inflation down by about 0.18 percentage points, mainly due to software. A large part of today’s decline is thus purely a matter of calculation. Even on Wall Street, the number is read cautiously. BNY strategist John Velis advises treating any softer value after the adjustment as a statistical correction. His conclusion: less noise, the same amount of inflation. Why this matters: Two weeks ago, the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time since 2023 to 3.75% to 4.00%. 16 out of 18 members expect another increase this year. This inflation figure is what decides that and it impacts credit rates, mortgages, and the direction of stocks and Bitcoin. On paper, inflation has decreased today. At the supermarket checkout, however, no one notices anything.

What a farce. Just in time for the start of the fuel discount, the oil companies have just raised fuel prices nationwide by up to 30 cents and thus pocket the entire fuel discount tomorrow. Just imagine that. Instead of finally introducing a windfall tax, Shell & Co. are also getting a €2.5 billion bonus at the taxpayers' expense. At the same time, the federal and state governments are deciding today on another increase in the Germany ticket price. It is truly unbelievable how money is thrown out the window for cars while every corner is being saved on public transport and bicycles! #Tankrabatt #Spritpreise #Übergewinnsteuer (translated)
