Today's U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) data released on January 15, 2025, showed a year-over-year increase of 3.3%, slightly below the expected 3.5%. The core PPI, excluding volatile food and energy prices, rose by 3.5% year-over-year, undercutting the anticipated 3.8%. Month-to-month, the headline PPI went up by 0.2%, while core PPI remained unchanged. This slowdown in inflation rates has led to a bullish stock market response, although bond yields rose unexpectedly, hinting at market concerns over future economic stability or inflation pressures. Investors are now keenly watching the upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for further clues on inflation's trajectory.
