Release windowWhere Producer Price Index lands in the trading day
What it measuresProducer Price Index, in one paragraph
The Producer Price Index measures the average change in selling prices domestic producers receive for their output, so it reads the cost side of the economy before those changes reach a consumer receipt.
What JMM reads first
PPI is treated as an early warning for CPI and only half deserves it. Producer costs reach consumer prices unevenly and with a lag that changes with margins, so a hot PPI print is a reason to watch the next CPI rather than to predict it. The components that do carry over quickly are the goods lines with thin margins.
