After an expected CPI number, we have good a PPI number. -0.5% instead of -0.1% that was expected
The Producer Price Index for final demand declined 0.5% in December, seasonally adjusted, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Final demand prices advanced 0.2% in November and 0.4% in October.
On an unadjusted basis, the index for final demand increased 6.2% in 2022 after rising 10.0% in 2021.
In December, the decrease in the final demand index can be attributed to a 1.6% decline in prices for final demand goods. In contrast, the index for final demand services rose 0.1%. Prices for final demand less foods, energy, and trade services edged up 0.1% in December after increasing 0.3% in November.
The index for final demand less foods, energy, and trade services advanced 4.6% in 2022 following a 7.0% rise in 2021.
