Surging prices: Key measure of inflation posts biggest 12-month jump on record
CNN
US wholesale prices posted the biggest 12-month increase on record.
That's the bad news. But the US economy offered some rare good news on inflation Wednesday, too: Costs didn't rise as much in June as they did in May, raising hopes that prices could be leveling off or even retreating in some cases. The producer price index measures prices paid by businesses, rather than consumers. Any increases typically are passed onto consumers at the retail level. Wholesale price increases have fed growing concerns about inflation as the economy tries to return to normal.More Related News
