US Wholesale Inflation Moderates in July Amid Energy and Food Price Declines
US wholesale inflation showed signs of easing in July, with the producer price index (PPI) rising 4.7% annually, down from 5.5% in June. Monthly wholesale prices were largely unchanged, supported by declines in energy and food costs, including a notable drop in gasoline prices. Core wholesale inflation, excluding volatile food and energy, also moderated. However, consumer prices continue to rise faster than wages, posing affordability challenges. Services prices increased slightly, while goods prices, led by energy, declined, reflecting mixed sector trends.
