I hope today’s PPI inflation report is positive

CrusaderFrank isn’t aware of the report results as his Internet of down too (apparently).

CrusaderFrank spend almost no time involved with these pointless statistics

Less than 1% inflation is bad?

I would like 50% deflation in 2026.

Would you like to know the same statistic for the last 12 months of the Biden presidency?

And will you then pretend that , after careful consideration month to month CORE PPI inflation under zero is actually bad, because Biden was not your cult leader?

2025 not as good as 2024 (at least for my IRA account). Happy now?

Are you drawing from it yet?

I hope it improves.

It will. Stay in

So what was the inflation number?

3.8%?

 

[leftwinger]

It was this measure:

The 0.8% monthly increase in core wholesale prices (PPI) for January 2026, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, reflects a significant acceleration in producer-level inflation, far exceeding the 0.3% forecast.

 

[leftwinger]

This rise was driven primarily by services prices, which jumped 0.8%—the highest since July 2025—led by surging margins in professional and commercial equipment wholesaling (up 14.4%) and trade services (up 2.5%). Despite a 0.3% decline in goods prices, core goods prices rose 0.7%, indicating ongoing inflationary pressures. The year-over-year core PPI rate reached 3.6%, well above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, suggesting persistent inflationary trends in the economy. This data, released on February 27, 2026, led to a drop in U.S. Treasury yields and increased market concerns about inflation staying elevated.

We likely have inflation in front of us. The PPI has been elevated since Tariff Day. Companies have been pushing it off, but I suspect were at the end of it.

I like “JUMPED .8%”



A price JUMPED from $100.00 to $100.80!!



A price JUMPED from $10.00 to $10.08!!

That is some WHITE PEOPLE jump!

“0.3% decline in goods prices”

WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!
