US producer prices rise by most in three years on services

[lostincalifornia]

"US wholesale inflation accelerated in July by the most in three years, suggesting companies are passing along higher import costs related to tariffs.

The producer price index increased 0.9% from a month earlier, the largest advance since consumer inflation peaked in June 2022, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report out Thursday. The PPI rose 3.3% from a year ago.

Services costs increased 1.1% last month — the most since March 2022. Within services, margins at wholesalers and retailers jumped 2%, led by machinery and equipment wholesaling. Goods prices excluding food and energy rose 0.4%."

5. correct BRG....and

Dems need to be SCREAMING about this every day in the media. Not Epstein, not Ukraine, not whatever dipshit drivel comes out of Trumpler's mouth to distract from what is most important: he and his minions are purposely ruining the country by impoverishing as many as possible so they can be the supreme oligarchy in charge.
