Free AccessMNI DATA ANALYSIS:June PPI Rises 0.3%, +0.3% Ex. Food, Energy>
--June PPI Ex. Food, Energy, Trade +0.3%; Trade Services +0.7%
--PPI +3.4% Y/Y Vs +3.1% In May; Ex Food, Energy +2.8% Vs +2.4%; 7Y High
By Kevin Kastner, Sara Haire, and Shikha Dave
WASHINGTON (MNI) - Final demand PPI rose by 0.3% in June, a bit
stronger than the 0.2% gain expected, with an as-expected 0.3% gain
outside of food and energy prices, data released by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics Wednesday showed.
The overall month/month rise was much larger than the 0.1% gain
seen in June 2017, which resulted in another jump in the year/year rate.
Likewise, PPI ex food and energy saw a sharp gain in its year/year rate.
These gains, both to their strongest pace since 2011, only serve to
support a gradual rate hike path for the FOMC.
The personal consumption price measure in the data, which some
analysts use as a preview measure for the CPI and PCE price indexes,
rose by 0.3% overall, by 0.5% ex. food and energy, and were up 0.3% also
excluding trade services, suggesting an upside risk to the PCE inflation
data.
Within the core, there were generally upward movements in a number
of categories. Passenger car prices rose 0.4%, while light truck prices
rose 0.6%. Overall final demand services prices were rose 0.7%.
--ENERGY UP, FOOD DOWN
Energy prices rose 0.8% in June after a 4.6% jump in May, led in
June by a 6.4% jump in diesel fuel prices. Electric power prices rose
0.4% and gasoline prices were up 0.5%, while residential natural gas
prices fell 1.9%.
Food prices fell 1.1%, with lower seen across a number of
components, particularly vegetables and beef.
Trade services prices rose 0.7% in the month, while the PPI core
rate the BLS prefers, which excludes the change in trade services as
well as food and energy, also rose 0.3% in June.
--Y/Y INFLATION JUMPS
The year/year rates for these measures showed strong acceleration.
Overall PPI was up 3.4% year/year in June after a 3.1% year/year rise in
May, the largest gain since November 2011, as the headline index was up
only 0.1% in June 2017.
At the same time, the year/year rate for PPI excluding food and
energy jumped to 2.8% from 2.4% in May, the highest since September
2011, while the year/year rate for PPI excluding food, energy and trade
services ticked up to 2.7% from 2.6%.
