The Producer Price Index (PPI) Input measures the month-over-month change in the costs of materials and fuels purchased by manufacturers. It reflects the inflationary pressures at the very beginning of the production chain, often referred to as 'input inflation'. Rising input costs are a precursor to higher output prices and eventually higher consumer prices. This index is particularly sensitive to fluctuations in global commodity and energy markets.
Based on a survey of prices paid by manufacturers for raw materials, including imported goods and domestic supplies. The index is weighted by the relative importance of each commodity to the overall manufacturing sector.
