The US Q3 2026 PPI for durable consumer goods, excluding food and energy (seasonally adjusted), rose slightly to 204.375, showing a mild increase compared to 204.005 in Q2 2026. Although this core sub-component continued its upward trend, the growth of both the headline PPI and core PPI was below market consensus. With falling energy prices significantly offsetting other inflationary pressures, the market expects the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged in the near term.
