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

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.

Bitcoin Breaks $97K as Crypto Decouples From Stocks on Inflation News

Bitcoin jumped to about $97,000 after the Wall Street open, diverging from a declining stock market as hotter-than-expected PPI data clashed with expectations of a Fed pause. The move was helped by a Supreme Court delay on tariffs, while analysts say BTC would need to stay above roughly $93,500 to sustain a new bull phase; at the time of writing, BTC hovered around $97,350.

Wholesale prices cling to gains in November, signaling persistent inflation

US wholesale inflation rose 0.2% in November, lifting the year-over-year Producer Price Index to about 3%. Energy costs helped push prices higher, while core PPI was flat for the month, keeping the 12‑month core rate near 3%. The report also showed margins in trade services slipping, suggesting higher costs are being absorbed rather than fully passed to consumers. Tariffs on imports are cited as a cost driver amid a softer labor market and slower wage growth, with some firms cutting prices to support affordability.

Soft PPI gains with stronger-than-expected retail sales in November

U.S. producer prices rose 0.2% in November (core PPI flat), with year-over-year PPI up about 3% and core PPI up 3.5%—the largest 12-month gain since March 2025, led by energy. Meanwhile, retail sales advanced 0.6% in November (0.5% ex-autos), beating forecasts and broad-based across categories, lifting the year-over-year gain to about 3.3%. Markets were little changed, with traders pricing in little chance of a near-term Fed move at the upcoming meeting.

Markets Hold Steady Ahead of Key Data as Powell Probe Steals Spotlight

U.S. Treasury yields were broadly flat as markets awaited the November Producer Price Index, December retail sales, and December existing home sales data, after December CPI rose 2.7% year over year. The 10-year yield hovered near 4.16%, the 2-year around 3.52%, and the 30-year about 4.82%. Separately, Fed Chair Jerome Powell faces a criminal investigation linked to the $2.5 billion renovation of the Fed HQ, renewing concerns about central-bank independence, though global policymakers defended independence.
