AI Data Insight
The newly released US non-seasonally adjusted final demand services PPI for 2026-05-01 (Q2 2026) was 155.762, edging down 0.22% from the previous value of 156.105, with the YoY growth rate slowing to 5.13%. Although the official seasonally adjusted data and market consensus reflect higher overall inflation driven by energy, the dip in the unadjusted services data suggests a temporary respite in price pressures on the services end. Moving forward, the market will closely monitor whether high oil prices and transportation costs will once again be passed down to downstream end consumers.
