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

Macro

2026-04-14

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

Latest data shows the US Q1 2026 PPI YoY rose to 4.0%, up from the previous reading of 3.4%, but significantly lower than the market expectation of 4.6%. Although the Middle East conflict caused energy prices to surge, service sector costs unexpectedly remained flat, successfully preventing inflation from spreading more broadly. This data alleviates the tightening pressure on the Federal Reserve and is expected to support the performance of risk assets in the short term.
