(Jan 14): US wholesale inflation picked up slightly in November from a month earlier on a jump in energy costs, even as prices for services were unchanged. The producer price index (PPI) rose 0.2% after climbing 0.1% in the prior month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The report, which included the first estimate of October wholesale price data, was delayed by the 43-day federal shutdown. The Bureau of Economic Analysis will issue November PCE price data, along with income and spending figures, on Jan 22. The PPI report showed wholesale goods prices rose 0.9%, the most since February 2024, with 80% of the increase due to energy.
