US Wholesale Inflation Rises 6.3% in September, Highest Since December 2022
US wholesale inflation rose 6.3% year-on-year in September, marking the highest annual increase since December 2022, driven largely by a surge in fuel and energy prices. Monthly wholesale prices increased 1.3%, the largest jump since March 2022, with core producer prices excluding food and energy also rising notably. The data highlights persistent inflationary pressures across a broad range of goods and services, intensifying challenges for consumers and complicating the Federal Reserve's efforts to control inflation.
