Iranian oil shock pushes US wholesale inflation to multi-year high

US wholesale prices rose 1.1% in May, lifting the annual Producer Price Index to 6.5%—the highest in more than three years—driven largely by oil-price spikes tied to Iran. A core PPI rose 0.4% (4.9% annually), and excluding food and energy, the index climbed 0.8% for a four-year high. While wholesale costs don’t always pass directly to consumers, economists say inflationary pressures could continue weighing on households as gas prices stay elevated.

Wholesale prices jump in May, signaling persistent inflation pressure

May PPI rose 1.1% month over month, lifting the 12‑month rate to 6.5%—the highest since November 2022—with core PPI up 0.4% (below the 0.5% forecast). Energy costs drove most of the gain, including a 10.7% energy surge and a 23.4% jump in wholesale gasoline; final-demand goods rose 2.8%, and portfolio-management fees climbed 4.8%. The release comes after CPI showed a 4.2% year‑over‑year rise, reinforcing expectations that the Fed will hold rates for now with little chance of cuts this year and a possible December hike; the ECB also raised rates in response to inflation.

US Stock Futures Hold Steady Ahead of Inflation Data

U.S. stock futures were flat Tuesday evening as investors awaited April’s PPI data after a hotter‑than‑expected CPI rattled markets; futures on the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 were down tiny amounts (about 0.01%, 0.02%, and 0.04%) at 6:22 p.m. EDT. In regular session, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell 0.7% and 0.2% as April core inflation came in hotter than expected and oil prices rose, while the Dow edged up 0.1%. Looking ahead, Alibaba, Nebius, BioNano Genomics, and Cisco are set to report earnings on Wednesday, with traders watching for the PPI data.

Energy-Driven Jump in PPI Signals Persistent Inflation for April

U.S. producer prices rose 1.4% in April—the largest monthly gain since March 2022 and lifting the year-over-year increase to 6%, the strongest since December 2022—driven by a 7.8% surge in final-demand energy and a 15.6% jump in gasoline. Core PPI (excluding food and energy) rose 1.0%, while services climbed 1.2% with a 2.7% rise in trade services and a 3.5% jump in margins for machinery and equipment wholesaling, signaling broad inflation pressures tied to energy costs and tariff effects.

Oil Shock Lifts China’s PPI as Inflation Watch Tightens

Oil Shock Lifts China’s PPI as Inflation Watch Tightens

China's producer price index rose 0.5% year over year in March—the first positive reading in more than three years—while consumer prices rose 1%, below forecasts. Oil-market volatility driven by the Iran conflict has pushed Brent near $97 a barrel and gasoline up about 11% month over month, lifting input costs and fueling concerns about potential inflationary pressures even as policy easing remains cautious. Analysts warn margins could be squeezed if costs stay elevated, though China benefits from stockpiles and policy flexibility; first-quarter PPI remains down 0.6% year over year.

War-fueled oil spike lifts US producer prices, signaling hotter inflation ahead

War-fueled oil spike lifts US producer prices, signaling hotter inflation ahead

U.S. producer prices rose 0.7% in February—the largest monthly gain in seven months—driven by a 0.5% rise in services and a rebound in food and energy as the Middle East conflict pushes oil higher; the year-on-year PPI climbed 3.4%. The report underscores inflation pressures from tariffs and services margins, with several components posting sizable gains. The Fed kept rates steady and projected higher inflation with only one rate cut this year, suggesting tariff pass-through and energy costs could keep inflation hotter even if oil prices retreat.

Hot PPI Dampens Expectation of Fed Rate Cuts This Year

Hot PPI Dampens Expectation of Fed Rate Cuts This Year

A hotter-than-expected February producer price index dampens bets on near-term Fed easing, with December cuts priced in around 60% but not with strong conviction. Odds for June/July/September cuts have fallen as inflation stays elevated due to factors like tariffs, the Iran war, and higher services costs. Markets imply a higher-for-longer path, expecting the fed funds rate to end 2026 near 3.43% versus 3.64% now, as traders await the FOMC decision with hawkish expectations.

Bitcoin Climbs to 75K Ahead of Fed Decision and PPI Data

Bitcoin rose above $75,000 and pressed a key resistance as traders brace for the February PPI print and the Federal Reserve’s rate decision and projections, with oil-driven geopolitical tensions underpinning a renewed “digital safe haven” narrative and a macro backdrop that could dictate whether the rally extends or fades as inflation signals and policy guidance unfold.

Nvidia's 5.6% Drop Weighs on U.S. Futures Ahead of Inflation Data

U.S. stock futures slipped Friday as Nvidia fell 5.6%, with Nasdaq 100, S&P 500, and Dow futures down about 0.3–0.5% ahead of a key inflation report. Thursday’s session was mixed and February’s final trading day looms amid AI-related tech jitters; after hours, Salesforce and Microsoft drifted lower while Zscaler tumbled on weak guidance. Economists expect January’s PPI to rise 0.3%, potentially shaping Fed expectations. The 10-year yield hovered near 3.99%, oil around $66.49 per barrel, and Asia-Pacific markets largely rose as Europe opened mixed.

Tariffs Lift Wholesale Prices in January, Foreshadowing Higher Consumer Costs

U.S. wholesale prices rose 0.5% in January, nudging the annual Producer Price Index down to 2.9% but signaling tariff-driven costs could spill into consumer prices. The core PPI jumped 0.8% (3.6% year over year), led by a surge in trade services and price pressures in goods like apparel, chemicals, and electronics. Economists warn that tariff pass-throughs to retailers and consumers could keep inflation elevated, while markets fell on the inflation data amid expectations the Fed could pause rate cuts.

Wholesale inflation stays hot as PPI beats expectations in January

U.S. producer prices rose 0.5% in January, hotter than the 0.3% consensus and December’s revised gain, with the year-over-year PPI at 2.9% and core PPI up 0.8% MoM (3.6% YoY). The report shows persistent wholesale inflation, as final-demand services jumped 0.8% (led by trade services) while final-demand goods fell 0.3% (energy and food declines, with gasoline driving much of the drop). This could feed into consumer prices in coming months, even as CPI appeared cooler in January.
