Version 0.68 (2024-06-13 14:57:26.852000)

updates: The US producer prices unexpectedly declined in May by the most in seven months, with the producer price index (PPI) for final demand decreasing 0.2% from the previous month. The decline in the May PPI for goods was largely due to lower gasoline costs, and goods prices overall decreased 0.8%. Several categories in the PPI report used to calculate the Fed's preferred inflation measure, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, were softer in May compared to the previous month. Costs of processed goods for intermediate demand, which reflect prices earlier in the production pipeline, decreased 1.5%, the most since the end of 2022, largely due to plunging energy costs.

Version 0.67 (2024-06-13 14:57:10.786000)

updates: The Labor Department reported that US wholesale prices fell 0.2% from April to May, indicating a potential easing of inflation pressures. This comes as the Federal Reserve considers reducing interest rates. The producer price index, which tracks inflation before it reaches consumers, was pulled down by a 7.1% drop in gasoline prices. Wholesale prices rose by 2.2% compared to the same period last year. Excluding food and energy costs, core producer prices remained the same as in April and were up 2.3% from May 2023. Consumer inflation remained at 6.7%, above the Fed's 2% target. The May PCE price index is expected to barely rise. Despite inflation easing, essentials such as groceries, rent, and healthcare remain significantly more expensive than three years ago. The US economy remains robust, with low unemployment rates and strong economic growth forecasted.
