According to the latest data for Q3 2026, the US seasonally adjusted final demand goods PPI climbed to 162.341, a significant increase of approximately 2.66% from the previous 158.126, setting a recent high. Although the market consensus for the overall PPI month-over-month increase was 0.4%, the strong rebound in goods data indicates that inflationary pressure is accumulating rapidly. Driven by geopolitics and a jump in energy prices, the future stickiness of inflation is likely to further influence the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy.
