Wholesale prices rose 0.9% in July, much more than expected

The producer price index jumped 0.9% in July, compared with the Dow Jones estimate for a 0.2% gain. It was the biggest monthly increase since June 2022.
Excluding food and energy prices, the core PPI rose 0.9% against the forecast for 0.3%. Excluding food, energy and trade services, the index was up 0.6%, the biggest gain since March 2022.

The fools on Wall Street shrug off the earlier inflation numbers, and today ignore these much more dire numbers. They fail to see the cliff this Economy is heading towards.

You might remember that March 2022 was the midst of the post-Covid inflation when every news outlet would ask consumers how upset they were with Biden's job.

Funny how we don't see any interviews with consumers now.

1. The next move by this admin, it to call in the National Guard to

Walmarts around the country to prevent price hikes.

2. I reminded my right-wing friend yesterday that gas

was under $3.00 pg under Biden, now it's 45 cents more a gallon.

3. My guess

Wall Street will react AFTER the Repuke budget gets passed.

4. So is Don Trump going to fire whoever released these statistics?

Stay tuned.

5. Unexpected by whom? Import taxes are inflationary. Pretty simple, really....nt

6. That is a 10.8% per year rate, is it not. The media

would be on that like flies on shit if Biden was president today.

7. The rise is based on the annual rate

From a little over 2% to over 3%

8. From what understand prices increased .9 for the

month of July, it was expected to be .2. A
.2 % increase in July would total 2.4% if it increased that much each month for one year. The .9 % increase in July makes it 10.8% if it would increase that much each month for a year. The July increase alone of .9 took the annual current rate from 2.4% to 3.3% in just one month. I may be wrong but that is the understanding I got from reading the post.

9. Yes

if prices continued to rise 0.9% a month, they would reach over 10%. But the July rise brings the annual brings the yearly rate to 3.3%.
I think we are saying the same thing.

We must note that prices continue to rise under Drumpf and he is doing nothing to bring them down.

10. Yep I agree.
