French October producer prices fall 0.2 percent month on month

PARIS (Reuters) - French producer prices fell by 0.2 percent month-on-month in October, data published by the INSEE official statistics office showed, adding to evidence that inflation pressures are largely absent in the euro zone's second-largest economy.

The data covers the prices of goods leaving French factories for the domestic market, excluding sales tax. Prices fell by 1.4 percent year-on-year in October.
