The Producer Price Index inflation was mixed – depending whether you look at the month-over-month inflation or the year-over-year inflation. In all events, the intermediate processing continues to show a moderation of inflation in the supply chain.

 

The PPI represents inflation pressure (or lack thereof) that migrates into consumer price.

  • The BLS reported that the headline Producer Price Index (PPI) finished goods prices (now called final demand prices) year-over-year inflation rate rose from 1.7% to 1.8%. This slight rise follows three months of marginal deceleration. And for the last 5 or 6 months, the variation in the year-over-year PPI growth has only been slight.
  • The market had been expecting:
 Consensus RangeConsensusActual
 PPI-FD – M/M change-0.2 % to 0.2 % 0.0%0.0% 
 PPI-FD less food & energy – M/M change (core PPI) 0.0 % to 0.2 % 0.1%0.0% 

 

  • The majority of the month-over-month increase in final demand was due to final demand services. 

The producer price inflation breakdown:

categorymonth-over-month changeyear-over-year change
final demand goods-0.3% 
final demand services+0.3% 
total final demand+0.0%+1.8%
   
processed goods for intermediate demand-0.3%+1.3%
unprocessed goods for intermediate demand-3.3%-0.8%
services for intermediate demand+0.2%+1.6%


In the following graph, one can see the relationship between the year-over-year change in crude good index and the finish goods index. When the crude goods growth falls under finish goods – it usually drags finished goods lower.

Removing food and energy (core PPI) was originally done to remove the noise from the index, however the usefulness in the twenty-first century is questionable except in certain specific circumstance.

PPI Core Inflation (finished goods less food & energy) – Year-over-Year (blue line, left axis) and Month-over-Month (red line, right axis)

Econintersect has shown how pricing change moves from the PPI to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This YoY change implies that the CPI, should come in around 2.0% YoY.

The price moderation of the PPI began in September 2011 when the year-over-year inflation was 7.0%.

Caveats on the Use of Producer Price Index

Econintersect has performed several tests on this series and finds it fairly representative of price changes (inflation). However, the headline rate is an average – and for an individual good or commodity, this series provides many sub-indices for specific application.

A very good primer on the Producer Price Index nuances can be found here.

Because of the nuances in determining the month-over-month index values, the year-over-year or annual change in the PPI index is preferred for comparisons.

There is moderate correlation between crude goods and finished goods as shown on the first graph in this post. Higher crude material prices push the finished goods prices up.
