Description:
The Producer Price Index, which measures wholesale prices, rose 0.5% in April, more than the expected increase of 0.3%. Core PPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also increased by 0.5% compared to an estimated 0.2%. On a yearly basis, wholesale inflation rose over 2% in April, the biggest gain in a year. Services prices drove much of the wholesale inflation, and portfolio management costs increased sharply. Energy prices rose led by a jump in gasoline costs, while food prices declined. Hotter-than-expected inflation raises doubts about the Fed's ability to cut rates soon to achieve its 2% target.

_consumer-price-index-rises-0-3-in-april-slightly-below-expectations.webp "The Consumer Price Index rose 0.3% in April, slightly below economists' expectations. Inflation was 3.4% annually in April, in line with forecasts. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.3% month-over-month and 3.6% year-over-year in April. Shelter costs increased 0.4% in April and were up 5.5% from a year ago. Energy prices rose 1.1% in April and were up 2.6% annually, while food prices were flat monthly. Used and new vehicle prices declined in April. Inflation remains above the Fed's 2% target, but signs of easing could allow them to pause rate hikes until more data is available in 2024.")
