🚨 FLASH ALERT: US PPI BREAKS HIGHER 🚨
November Producer Price Index prints +0.3%, but both headline and Core PPI came in at 3.0% vs expectations of 2.7%. That’s hotter than expected and marks the highest PPI reading since July 2025.
This changes the game. The Fed is now signaling a pause on rate cuts in two weeks. That’s a big deal for markets.
Key Levels Before the Print
Baseline: 0.3%
🟢 Below 0.3%: Market bulls get a shot
🟡 0.3–0.4%: Expected, mixed reactions
🔴 Above 0.4%: Bearish pressure likely
Actual Print: 0.3%
Headline & Core PPI above expectations but right on the baseline.
