US inflation at the wholesale level continued its downward slide in March with annualized price increases sinking dramatically to 2.7% from 4.6%, according to the Producer Price Index released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics

It’s the lowest annual level for the key inflation gauge since January 2021. On a monthly basis, producer prices slumped by 0.5%, driven by falling goods prices, specifically lower energy prices. Prices for fresh and dry vegetables also fell, while the price indexes for categories such as light motor trucks, chicken eggs and meats moved higher.

PPI is one of several closely watched inflation gauges. Because the producer-centric index captures price shifts upstream of the consumer, it’s sometimes looked to as a potential leading indicator of how prices may eventually land at the store level. Since notching a 11.2% gain in June 2022, the PPI has seen a stark cooldown in the months since, as supply chains have got back into sync since being discombobulated by the pandemic and the sharp economic recovery that followed.

Bull

Prices are still going up, just not as high as forecasted. How is this good? This is the continued destruction of the economy by Democrats. They destroy the economy only for a Republican to come in and fix it.

No SS COLA for next year?

Yeah not seeing it at retail level and my pockets

I still pay a lot more at the grocery stores

Could be also the unafordability of the high inflation has slowed consumer spending.

But President Biden says it’s the strongest economy ever so we don’t need to think

it's about normalizing current pricing at this time if you are paying attention to the housing market IMO ...

Really

Still almost FOUR TIMES higher than the 1.4% that Biden INHERITED.

It’s to bad people don’t realize that the Fed controls inflation by controlling the supply of money into the system. The more they supply, the higher inflation goes. Watch Zeitgeist: Addendum

That’s BS! Prices are still the same! She said grocery’s went down .03 %! Are you kidding me What a joke!
