In Q3 2026, the US PPI Final Demand Goods seasonally adjusted index fell to 156.001, a significant decline from the previous value of 157.226. This weakness in goods prices was mainly driven by concurrent drops in energy and food. The overall PPI annual growth rate was also below market consensus. This trend helps alleviate inflationary pressure on the production side, weakens support for the US dollar, and impacts the pace of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy.
