This marks the fifth straight month of decreasing producer prices, with the current drop being the steepest since November 2024.

Meanwhile, there were price increases for consumer goods, which rose by 2.2%, and capital goods, which saw a 1.0% uptick. On a month-to-month basis, producer prices fell by 0.3%, countering the 0.2% increase observed in the previous month.
