Producer Price Index (PPI)
The Producer Price Index (PPI) measures average changes over time in selling prices received by domestic producers for their output, at the wholesale level. It is published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and covers price changes across stages of production, including final demand and intermediate goods and services.
Example: In the latest release, the PPI for finished goods rose, indicating higher selling prices received by producers for those products, a development economists note as potential upstream cost pressure.
