According to a report by PANews on January 14, the US Producer Price Index (PPI) for November has gained attention by recording a 3% increase year-over-year. Notably, this figure has reached its highest level since July, indicating that the inflationary trend continues to intensify.

PPI Index Surpasses Market Expectations

The US November PPI exceeded market forecasts of 2.7%, demonstrating a strong economic indicator. This suggests that the upward pressure on prices at the producer level is progressing more rapidly than market experts predicted. The 0.3 percentage point increase is interpreted as a signal that the inflation rate is not slowing down, which could impact financial markets.

Core PPI Index Also Rises Simultaneously

What is even more noteworthy is that the core PPI index, excluding volatile energy and food prices, also rose by 3% compared to the previous year. The core indicator also exceeded the expected 2.7%, showing that broad-based inflationary pressures are intensifying across the economy. This trend could also influence the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policy direction.
