The latest Producer Price Index (PPI) reveals that wholesale prices rose by 3% year-over-year in November, marking a significant increase from October's 2.4% and surpassing economists' expectations. This rise signifies the highest increase since February 2023 and indicates ongoing challenges in controlling inflation, as core prices also saw an uptick. Despite these pressures, analysts suggest that this data does not imply an imminent return to the Fed's 2% inflation target, with expectations for fewer rate cuts in 2025.
