Core PPI has risen by 0.6% .
The services sector inflation has risen by over 1.1%.
These are monthly figures not annual.
These are both the highest reads in over 3 years .

PPI leads CPI. Kind of like a pig going through a snake.
Just a matter of time before these PPI wholesale pressures make their way into the consumer space.
Won’t make the Fed want to cut rates.

PPI reflects sharpest rise in three years for U.S. wholesale prices
The cost of wholesale goods and services — where rising inflation tends to show up first — posted the biggest increase in July in three years, possibly heralding a sizable acceleration in price hikes tied to higher U.S. tariffs.
The producer price index jumped 0.9% last month after no change in June, the government said Thursday.
The rate of wholesale inflation climb ed to 3.3% from 2.3%, a five-month high.
Another gauge known as the core rate that is seen as a more stable measure of wholesale inflation rose 0.6% in July.
The 12-month increase in the core rate moved up to 2.8% from 2.5%.
The wholesale report doesn’t capture the cost of imports as well as the consumer price index, but the CPI also showed a sharper increase in July.
PPI came in hotter than expected. This bode well that Businesses are absorbing the tariff cost. Eventually they pass onto the consumers.

We’ll see what happens with BLS data, but as it currently stands, foreign producers in aggregate haven’t lowered prices to offset the tariff expenses paid by US importers. https://t.co/BCDIQcQ3fJ pic.twitter.com/v8Ty2ZlOdb

U.S. importers so far for the bulk of it, based on available data. They also front-ran tariffs with some extra imports.
A little bit has trickled to consumers. Nothings showing up in exporter prices so far.

Import prices slightly up over the past 3 months. Not materially, but importantly, not down.
-Need a 13% decrease to offset a 15% average tariff rate.
-Need a 16% decrease to offset a 20% average tariff rate.
