🇺🇸🚨 U.S. CORE PPI COMES IN HOT — INFLATION PRESSURE NOT DONE YET
January wholesale inflation surprised to the upside, flashing early warning signs for markets 👀
🔹 Core PPI (YoY): 3.6% (Exp: 3.0%)
🔹 Core PPI (MoM): +0.8% (Exp: 0.3%)
🔹 Headline PPI (YoY): 2.9% (Exp: 2.6%)
🔹 Services surged 0.8% — biggest jump since July 2025
🔹 Goods prices fell 0.3%
This strong services inflation suggests pipeline price pressures are building again.
📌 A hotter PPI today increases the probability of a firm PCE print next month, meaning the Fed may keep rates in the 3.50%–3.75% range longer than markets expected.
