Index 156.5 (prev 154.4)
2026-04-01 as of
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.
