Prices received by producers for goods and services (the wholesale stage). Upstream of CPI, it gives an early read on business costs and future consumer inflation.

Key points

  • Prices producers receive (final demand)
  • Upstream of CPI — a leading inflation signal
  • A read on cost pressure and pass-through
  • Watch the YoY change

How to read it

Read YoY. Rising PPI can feed into CPI with a lag, so it is a leading signal. A core PPI (excluding food, energy, and trade services) is also watched.
