Lufthansa refund policy

I am contemplating purchasing a “P class” fare to Europe this summer and I missed my chance to book it last week. Current price is about $600 higher. I’m wondering if I buy it now and the price drops at some future point would Lufthansa refund the difference in fare if I choose to rebook the ticket to a different departure/return date, or destination?
At the moment current rules allow for free ticket changes but require that you pay a difference in fare. But what if the new fare is lower? Would some kind of credit be given?
My planned trip is in August, so I suppose I can wait and see if the price drops again, but it may go higher... so I’m wondering what my best move would be.

No. You will need a cancellation or significant schedule change to be able get a (full) refund and book again

Just wait. Fares are likely to drop again.

The P fare is non refundable and LH doesn't do fare drop credits. But due to Covid19 they have a policy (which may be gone when you decide to change) that you can exchange the ticket value for a voucher which you can then use for other purchases.
