PPI

Producer Price Index

PPI (Producer Price Index) measures the average change in the prices that domestic producers receive for their goods and services. In the United States the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes it monthly; statistics agencies in other countries publish their own versions. Like other inflation data, the release can coincide with higher volatility and wider spreads.

Also called: Producer Price Index, producer prices, factory-gate prices, wholesale prices
