The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics has just published the monthly Producer Price Index data. Prices for goods at the wholesale level have grown stunningly.

Monthly increase was 0.3% not the forecast 0.2%. Meanwhile, Core Consumer Price Index that excludes food and energy showed an increase of 0.4% instead of market consensus expectation of 0.3%.
