United States: Final Demand PPI (YoY) - All Items

Macro

2026-07-15

Description

The Producer Price Index (PPI) is calculated and published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The PPI measures the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their goods and services. Unlike the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures price changes from the buyer's perspective, the PPI focuses on the seller's perspective. This often makes the PPI a leading indicator for the CPI.

Note: The difference between Seasonally Adjusted (SA) and Not Seasonally Adjusted (NSA) data lies in the fact that SA data is adjusted to eliminate the effects of seasonal patterns, providing a clearer view of long-term trends and underlying economic conditions.

AI Data Insight

The US Producer Price Index (PPI) annual growth rate for Q2 2026 (May) retreated significantly to 5.5% from 6.5% in the previous month, ending the upward trend seen since the beginning of the year. This cooling was mainly driven by a plunge in energy and gasoline prices, beating market consensus, and subsequently increasing the probability of a Federal Reserve (Fed) pause in interest rate hikes.
