Mango's Overgate Dundee store opens
Spanish fashion giant Mango has opened another key UK store in the Overgate Dundee shopping centre.
Located within a prime ground floor site, the new store spans over 3,700 sq ft, becoming one of the first in Scotland to feature the brand's Mediterranean-inspired New Med concept, present in the group's flagship stores around the world.
The store also follows Mango's mission to 'generate a low environmental impact through traditional, handcrafted, sustainable and natural materials'. Additional features include a click & collect area and a Committed Box, a container where customers can deposit clothing and footwear for reuse.
Overgate, measuring 440,000 sq ft and located in the heart of Dundee city centre, was acquired by Frasers Group in March 2023. Mango represents 'an accelerated tranche of new store openings and significant lease extensions over the last 18 months', which includes British footwear brand Clarks that also just opened a new 2,160 sq ft store.
Soon to anchor the 70-unit centre will be a 100,000 sq ft Frasers department store, scheduled to open in June, 'becoming one of the largest shop fitouts in Dundee... transforming Overgate and significantly strengthening the east coast of Scotland's retail offering', the owner said.

Eurozone disinflation on track as price pressures ease in Germany
Consumer price growth in Germany held steady in May, while inflation eased in Spain and Italy, reinforcing expectations of a broader disinflation trend across the eurozone. The preliminary figures released by Germany's Federal Statistical Office on Friday show that annual inflation in the eurozone's largest economy held steady at 2.1% in May 2025. The reading came in slightly below analysts' expectations of 2.2%. On a monthly basis, German consumer prices rose by just 0.1%, a sharp slowdown from April's 0.4% increase and the weakest gain since January. Core inflation, which strips out food and energy, is estimated to have risen by 2.8% year-on-year, indicating that underlying inflationary pressures remain more resilient. Disinflation trends are also visible across Southern Europe. In Spain, preliminary data show the annual consumer price index fell to 1.9% in May, down from 2.2% in April and under the 2.1% anticipated by markets. The deceleration was largely driven by lower prices in leisure and cultural services, as well as more modest increases in electricity and transport costs compared to the same period in 2024. Spanish core inflation also edged down by 0.3 percentage points, settling at 2.1%. Italy recorded an annual inflation rate of 1.7% in May, slipping from 1.9% in April and in line with consensus forecasts. The latest national readings reinforce expectations that euro area headline inflation will ease further when the aggregate May data are published next week. Median economist forecasts point to a decline from 2.2% in April to 2.1% in May. Goldman Sachs on Friday lowered its forecast for eurozone inflation to 1.95% year-on-year, down from a prior estimate of 1.99%. The bank also revised its core inflation forecast downward by seven basis points, to 2.37%, citing subdued underlying pressures in Germany. With inflation across the bloc moving further closer to the European Central Bank's 2% target, the data add weight to expectations that the ECB may continue to ease interest rates at its next week meeting. The euro traded flat at 1.1335 against the dollar after Germany's inflation print, though it remained 0.3% down on the day. European government bond yields were little changed, with the German 10-year Bund yield steady at 2.53%. Equity markets showed mixed performance. The Euro STOXX 50 index dipped 0.4% by mid-afternoon, on track for a broadly unchanged week. Germany's DAX, however, gained 0.2%, climbing back above the 24,000 mark. In other news, oil prices fell sharply amid speculation that OPEC+ could increase production by more than 411,000 barrels per day in July. WTI crude futures dropped over 1.5% to $60.2 (€55.3) per barrel, while Brent slid below $63 (€57.9). Meanwhile, geopolitical risks resurfaced after US President Donald Trump accused China of violating the bilateral trade agreement, reigniting concerns over potential tariff escalations. Inflation in Spain fell in May to 1.9%, but the underlying inflation index remains above the price stability level, at 2.1%, according to data published on Friday by the National Statistics Institute (INE). The Consumer Price Index (CPI) reached its lowest value since last October, when it stood at 1.8%. The European Central Bank considers that the best way to maintain price stability in the euro area is to have an inflation target of 2% in the medium term, according to the Bank of Spain. Therefore, the general index achieves a certain stability after the high percentages registered during the last year. However, the underlying index, which eliminates the effect of the most volatile prices, is above 2%. However, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) fell by 0.3 percentage points year-on-year in May to 1.9%, and recorded a monthly decrease of 0.1%. With the slowdown in the year-on-year CPI recorded in May, inflation has now seen three consecutive months of declines in its annual rate. According to INE, this moderation, which places the CPI at 1.9%, is mainly due to the drop in leisure and culture prices, lower prices in the transport sector, and a smaller increase in electricity tariffs compared with the same month in 2024. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Enterprise stressed that the favourable evolution of services related to the tourism sector, along with the positive performance of electricity prices, played an important part in this inflation decline. With the decrease in May, the core inflation rate returns to a path of moderation following a rise of 0.4 percentage points in April.
