Year-over-year German inflation is lower. But over six months and six months pressures are back in August. The small seeming 0.4% rise in August is enough to boost the three-month growth rate and the six-month rate. Currently, the configuration is showing classical inflation acceleration as the 3-month inflation pace exceeds the six- month pace which in turn exceeds the Yr/Yr pace. June had seemed to bring inflation trends to a head in Germany, then in July pressures backed off. Now in August they seem to be back.
