In June 2026, the US PPI for consumer durable goods less food and energy rose to 203.91, slightly increasing by about 0.21% from the previous value of 203.486. Although core durable goods prices showed resilience, benefiting from the plunge in energy prices, the overall PPI unexpectedly decreased by 0.3% month-on-month, far below the market expectation of remaining flat. The data further confirms the cooling trend of inflation, opening the door for a future dovish pivot by the Federal Reserve.
