PPI: Food Prices Remain Elevated

PPI: Food Prices Remain Elevated

  • PPI up 0.3% month-to-month as food inflation remains sticky. In case you missed this morning’s PPI release, click HERE.
  • Foods. With respect to “Foods”, it is no surprise that poultry, eggs and dairy were up in November as this was reflected at Retail. Apparently there is a bird flu that was driving poultry/egg prices higher. Similarly there was a shortage for certain dairy products (heavy cream was one during Thanksgiving). Some of these price increases have abated post Thanksgiving (poultry but not eggs): HERE.
