US PPI rises 6.3% in September
Producer prices in the United States rose by 6.3% in September 2026, surprising markets that had expected a slowdown to 5.3%. This is the highest increase since August, with the core producer price index—which excludes food and energy—rising by 5%, surpassing the forecasts of 4.4%. This rise influences Federal Reserve policies, potentially increasing pressure to hold or raise interest rates, especially amid rising energy costs and their potential impact on production costs and consumer prices.
