According to the latest data from DataTrack, the US non-seasonally adjusted PPI index for May 2026 was 157.045, declining from the previous value of 158.012, with year-over-year growth slowing to 5.59%. Although external market consensus generally indicated that May inflation remained high due to the impact of the Middle East conflict, the DataTrack benchmark has preemptively reflected signs of cooling upstream cost pressures, providing a brief respite for strained supply chains.
