The latest US Core Consumer Durable Goods PPI for Q2 2026 reached 203.58, an increase of approximately 0.22% from the previous value of 203.128. Against the backdrop of the recent overall PPI surging dramatically driven by the Middle East geopolitical energy crisis, this data reflects that core manufacturing costs, excluding energy, are still steadily rising. This indicates that supply chain cost pass-through is occurring, which may add uncertainties to future interest rate cuts.
