🌐 #July PPI Beats Expectations 🌐

📊 U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) – July 2025 delivered a strong surprise:
🚀 +0.9% MoM (vs. +0.2% expected) — largest jump since June 2022.
🛒 Services rose 1.1%, driven by wholesale & retail trade margins.
🥦 Goods advanced 0.7%, with fresh vegetables surging nearly +39%.
🔍 Core PPI (ex-food, energy & trade services) climbed 0.6%, highlighting persistent inflationary pressures.
💡 Market Insight:
This hotter-than-expected PPI signals resilient inflation pressure. It challenges expectations for aggressive Fed easing in September — with markets now largely pricing only a 25 bps cut instead of 50 bps.
📌 Key Takeaways for Investors:
Inflation pressure remains elevated → Fed likely to stay cautious.
Rate cut hopes scaled back → short-term market volatility likely.
