What this measures

The monthly change in the total final-demand Producer Price Index, covering goods and services sold for personal consumption, capital investment, government and export.

What it does not establish

PPI is not a household grocery bill or CPI. This selection is total final demand, not a narrower index excluding food, energy or trade services, and not a twelve-month rate.

Methodology

BLS series WPSFD4 is the seasonally adjusted final-demand PPI. The displayed monthly percent change is 100 × (index this month / index last month − 1), using BLS's published precision. Producer transaction prices and expenditure weights differ from consumer prices. Recent indexes are revised for late reports and corrections; seasonal factors can also be revised. Preserve release vintages rather than silently replacing original readings.
