US Producer Price Index Rises 1.4 Percent, Beats Consensus
US Producer Price Index (PPI) increased 1.4% month-over-month in April 2026, surpassing the consensus estimate of 0.5%. The April reading accelerated from March’s 0.7% gain, marking a 0.7 percentage point increase. This marks the largest monthly rise in the PPI in recent months and pushes the index well above the 12-month rolling average of 1.13%. Higher input costs in manufacturing and energy sectors contributed significantly to the headline increase. Compared to the same period last year, producer prices remain elevated, highlighting ongoing cost pressures in the US supply chain. Market participants are monitoring Federal Reserve statements and upcoming consumer price data for further signals on inflation trends. Updated 5/13/26
