Record Price Pressures In US PMI

DATA REACT
  • Service sectors saw surging price pressures as the rate of input price inflation accelerated for the third successive month to the fastest in over 11yrs of data, whilst increased passthrough of higher cost burdens onto clients through hiking selling prices saw a notable acceleration in the pace of charge inflation, for the fourth month running and to the fastest on record.
