When Is the Next PPI Report?

The Producer Price Index measures the average change in selling prices received by domestic producers, priced from the seller’s side rather than the consumer’s. The headline "final demand" index covers goods, services and construction sold for personal consumption, capital investment, government and export.

Next PPI release

…

PPI is normally published mid-month at 8:30 am ET, typically within a day or two of CPI.

US PPI (final demand), year over year

Unit: % YoY. Ten years of history.

What this release moves

PPI matters most as a preview: several of its components feed directly into the PCE index the Fed targets, so economists revise their PCE forecasts within minutes of the PPI print. On its own it moves markets less than CPI, but a large surprise, especially in the pipeline components, can shift rate expectations, and it lands in the same mid-month window.

Frequently asked questions

How is PPI different from CPI?
CPI prices what consumers pay, PPI what producers receive. PPI excludes imports and sales taxes, includes exports, and often leads consumer inflation because cost pressure at the producer level tends to pass through with a lag.
Why do markets sometimes care more about PPI components than the headline?
Because specific components, notably portfolio management fees, airfares and healthcare, flow directly into core PCE, the Fed’s preferred gauge. A benign headline can hide hot PCE-relevant components, and rates traders react to those.
