Core producer price inflation in the United States moderated in August, with the Core PPI rising 0.2% month-on-month, down from a 0.3% increase in July 2026. The latest data, updated on 10 September 2026, indicate a slight easing in underlying producer price pressures compared with the prior month.
The figures are based on month-over-month comparisons: the August reading reflects the change from July to August, while the previous 0.3% figure captured the change from June to July. The slowdown in August suggests that core wholesale prices, excluding the most volatile components, are increasing at a more modest pace than earlier in the summer, a development that markets will watch closely for its implications on broader inflation trends and monetary policy expectations.
