In Q3 2026 (latest data corresponding to July), the US Core PPI, excluding food and energy, rose to 271.298, an increase of approximately 0.56% from the previous 269.78. This growth exceeds the market consensus expectation of 0.3% and conflicts with some external reports of a slowing trend, indicating that core prices remain highly resilient. Looking ahead, if service sector inflation does not recede, the Federal Reserve's pace of interest rate cuts may face challenges.
