FX.co ★ US September PPI Surges to 1.3% MoM, Signaling Re-Acceleration in Producer Prices

Producer prices in the United States jumped in September 2026, with the month‑over‑month Producer Price Index (PPI) rising 1.3%, up sharply from a 0.4% increase in August 2026. The fresh data, updated on 15 October 2026, point to a noticeable re-acceleration in cost pressures at the wholesale level.

The latest reading compares the change in September to August, while the previous figure reflected the change in August versus July. The move from 0.4% to 1.3% month‑over‑month highlights a strong upswing in producer inflation over just one month, underscoring a potentially more challenging cost environment for businesses as they head into the final quarter of the year.
