#USJulyPPIFlat That hashtag means the U.S. Producer Price Index for July 2026 was unchanged month over month — in other words, headline PPI came in at 0.0%. The data was released on Thursday, August 13, 2026 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. (forexfactory.com)
In plain English:
PPI tracks prices received by producers/businesses.
“Flat” means prices were unchanged from June to July on a seasonally adjusted basis. (forexfactory.com)
A few important details behind the headline:
The 12-month PPI rate was 4.7% in July 2026.
The flat monthly reading followed a 0.1% decline in June.
Reports said the main reason headline PPI stayed flat was that lower energy prices offset rising services prices. (forexfactory.com)
One nuance: the headline was soft, but underlying measures were firmer. CNBC reported that core PPI excluding food and energy rose 0.2%, while another closely watched measure excluding food, energy, and trade services rose 0.4% in July. (cnbc.com)
So the short version is: U.S. wholesale inflation did not rise in July on the headline measure, which markets generally read as a cooler-than-expected inflation signal, even though some core components still increased. (cnbc.com)$TUT
