About PPI Ex Food, Energy and Trade YoY — United States
DEFINITION
PPI Ex Food, Energy and Trade YoY is a financial indicator that measures the year-over-year change in the Producer Price Index (PPI) for goods and services, excluding the volatile categories of food, energy, and trade. This indicator provides insight into the overall trend of inflation in the economy, as it excludes the impact of these highly fluctuating sectors. It is often used by economists and investors to assess the underlying inflationary pressures in the market and make informed decisions about pricing and investment strategies.
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 (May 2026): actual 5.1 %, consensus 4.4 %. Prior reading (Apr 2026): 4.4 %. Before that (Mar 2026): 3.6 %.
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. This indicator correlates most strongly with MSFT (Bearish MSFT, r=-0.61) — a useful reference for stocks-focused traders.
