The Producer Price Index (PPI) measures inflation before it’s passed down to the consumer. This morning’s number shows that it remained unchanged in June. The markets were preparing for a slightly higher reading.
Year-over-year, it’s up 2.3 percent, also lower than previously expected. This comes after yesterday’s Consumer Price Index (CPI), which was on target, indicating that inflation may finally be showing signs of cooling.
