About PPI YoY — Macedonia
DEFINITION
PPI YoY stands for Producer Price Index Year-over-Year and is a key economic indicator used to measure the average change in prices received by domestic producers for their goods and services over a 12-month period. It is often used as a gauge of inflationary pressures in the economy and can provide valuable insights into the overall health of the manufacturing sector. PPI YoY is closely monitored by investors, policymakers, and businesses to make informed decisions about pricing strategies, production levels, and monetary policy.
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Inflation prints feed directly into central-bank policy expectations and real-yield calculations, and are among the most rate-sensitive releases on the calendar. The release is more useful as part of a longer-run signal than as a single-print catalyst. Released monthly.
WHAT CHANGED THIS MONTH
Latest reading (Nov 2024): actual 5.5 %, consensus 4.8 %. Prior reading (Oct 2024): 5.1 %. Before that (Sep 2024): 3.5 %.
WHAT'S NEXT
Sigmacast's 1-month forecast points to a higher reading versus the latest print, with the 3-month outlook reinforcing that direction. Both horizons are aligned bullish for this indicator, suggesting a consistent trend signal. Trend-driven dynamics are the primary tailwind in the current projection.
