Core producer price inflation in the United States slowed in July 2026, with the Core PPI rising 0.2% month-on-month, down from a 0.4% increase recorded in June 2026. The latest data, updated on 13 August 2026, signal a moderation in underlying producer price pressures compared with the prior month.
On a month-over-month basis, the July reading reflects a weaker pace of price growth for producers than in June, when the indicator had doubled the current rate. The comparison period framework shows that while June’s 0.4% Core PPI increase represented a relatively stronger acceleration from the previous month, July’s 0.2% figure marks a step down, suggesting some easing in cost pressures feeding through the supply chain.
