Manufactured products prices dropped 0.2 percent, following a 0.3 percent decrease. Services inflation softened to 2.2 percent from 2.4 percent.

On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose 0.2 percent, in contrast to the 1.2 percent decrease in September. The rate matched expectations.

Likewise, the harmonized index of consumer prices gained 0.3 percent after a 1.3 percent fall in the previous month. The rate was forecast to climb 0.2 percent. Final data is due on November 15.

Another data from INSEE showed that producer prices dropped for the tenth consecutive month in September. The decline in producer prices deepened to 7.0 percent from 6.3 percent in August.
