German wholesale prices in March 2026: an increase of 4.1% compared to March 2025
Wholesale Prices See Notable Rise in March 2026
Wholesale trade prices climbed by 4.1% in March 2026 compared to the same month the previous year. For the period from December 2025 through February 2026, annual price growth remained steady at 1.2%. The last time a larger year-on-year increase was observed was in February 2023, when prices surged by 9.5% over February 2022.
This sharp uptick in March 2026 is primarily linked to the ongoing conflict in Iran and the Middle East, which has driven up the costs of energy and raw materials in the wholesale sector. According to the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), these factors have played a significant role in the recent price developments.

This is the second round of enhanced long-term bond buybacks by the Treasury, this time focusing on 20- to 30-year government bonds. After the announcement of the planned upper limit, the yield on 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds continued to rise, at one point exceeding 5.4%. In the first round of enhanced buybacks two weeks ago, the upper buyback target was also $6 billion, which was lower than some market participants had expected, and the actual buyback amounted to only $5.2 billion due to insufficient competitive bidding, according to the Treasury.
