The latest published seasonally adjusted index for US Core Consumer Goods PPI (excluding food and energy) for Q3 2026 climbed to 297.633, marking a slight increase of approximately 0.21% from the previous value of 297.001 in Q2 2026. This monthly increase of around 0.2% fell short of the market expectation of 0.3%, indicating that underlying price pressures on the production side are easing.
