🚨 BREAKING: U.S. Core PPI Surges Above Expectations!
Today Top 3 Viral Coins watch these closely
The core producer price index (PPI), which tracks inflation for goods and services excluding food and energy, jumped to 3.0% in November 2025, up from 2.9% last month. Analysts had expected just 2.7%, so this is a noticeable surprise. Meanwhile, the month-over-month numbers were calmer: Core PPI +0.0%, and overall PPI +0.2%.
Why this matters: Core PPI shows the underlying inflation pressures in the economy. Even though food and energy are volatile, this jump signals that prices for production goods are still rising faster than expected, which could feed into higher costs for consumers and businesses down the line.
The Fed is watching this closely, because sustained higher PPI could influence interest rate decisions, possibly delaying rate cuts or keeping policy tighter for longer. In simple terms: inflation isn’t gone yet, and the economy might face more pressure if costs keep climbing.
This is a wake-up call for markets: even small surprises in core inflation can ripple through stocks, bonds, and commodities, making volatility likely in the coming weeks.
