Producer price inflation in the United States slowed markedly in October 2026, with the Producer Price Index (PPI) advancing 0.3% month-over-month, down from a 1.4% increase in September 2026.
The fresh data, updated on 13 November 2026, shows a significant cooling in wholesale price pressures when comparing October’s change to the previous month, after a much stronger jump in September. According to the comparison methodology, the current figure reflects the change in October versus September, while the previous reading captured the change in September versus August.
The steep deceleration from 1.4% to 0.3% on a month-over-month basis suggests a notable moderation in upstream price growth, which could, if sustained, relieve some pressure on overall inflation in subsequent months.
