Free AccessMNI DATA ANALYSIS: US PPI Rises 0.2%; +0.2% Ex. Food, Energy>
--September PPI Ex. Food, Energy, Trade +0.4%; Trade Services +0.1%
--PPI +2.6% Y/Y Vs +2.8% In August; Ex Food, Energy +2.5% Vs +2.3%
By Kevin Kastner, Harrison Clarke, and Shikha Dave
WASHINGTON (MNI) - Final demand PPI was up 0.2% in September, as
expected, and PPI outside of food and energy was also up 0.2% as
expected, data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Wednesday
showed.
The year/year rate of inflation for final demand PPI was down from
from August, while PPI ex food and energy was up August, but the
year/year rate for prices also excluding the volatile trade services
category was unchanged from August. As a result, this data should not be
a concern to inflation hawks.
The personal consumption price measure in the data, which some
analysts use as a preview measure for the CPI and PCE price indexes, was
up 0.1% overall and up 0.2% ex. food and energy, and was still up 0.3%
also excluding trade services, suggesting a mildly stronger outlook for
the PCE inflation data.
--ENERGY, FOOD FALL
Energy prices fell 0.8% in September after a 0.4% gain in August,
led in September by a 8.1% decline in residential fuel. Most other
energy components were also down.
Food prices were down 0.6% on eggs, poultry, and vegetables.
Trade services prices rose 0.1% in the month after large declines
in the previous two months, while the PPI core rate the BLS prefers,
which excludes the change in trade services as well as food and energy,
rose 0.4% in September.
Within the core, there were generally upward movements in a number
of categories. Passenger car prices fell 0.1%, while light truck prices
rose 0.8%. However, overall final demand services prices were up 0.3%.
--Y/Y INFLATION SLOWS
The year/year rates for the overall measure slowed in the month.
Overall PPI was up 2.6% year/year in September after a 2.8% year/year
rise in August.
At the same time, the year/year rate for PPI excluding food and
energy rose to 2.5% from 2.3% in August, but the year/year rate for PPI
excluding food, energy and trade services was unchanged at 2.9%.
