In the United States, the Producer Price Index for final demand measures price change for commodities sold for personal consumption, capital investment, government, and export. It is composed of six main price indexes: final demand goods (33 percent of the total weight), which includes food and energy; final demand trade services (20 percent); final demand transportation and warehousing services (4 percent); final demand services less trade, transportation, and warehousing (41 percent); final demand construction (2 percent); and overall final demand.

Latest Updates

U.S. producer prices rose 2.7% year-on-year in March 2025, easing from a 3.2% increase in February and coming in below market expectations of a 3.3% rise. This marked the smallest annual gain in producer prices since September. On a monthly basis, prices fell 0.4%, following an upwardly revised 0.1% increase in February and missing forecasts for a 0.2% gain, largely driven by a sharp drop in energy costs. Despite the pullback, producer prices are expected to trend higher in the coming months due to the impact of new tariffs.
