The Producer Price Index (PPI) measures the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their output. This quarterly figure provides a broader view of inflationary pressures at the wholesale level over a three-month period. It is considered a leading indicator for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as producer costs are often passed on to consumers.
Calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics using a weighted average of price changes for goods, services, and construction output from the previous quarter.
