FX.co ★ Italian Producer Price Inflation Cools to 5.8% in June, Easing from May Peak

Italy’s producer price inflation eased in June 2026, signaling a moderation in cost pressures at the factory gate that could offer some relief to downstream prices. According to the latest data updated on 30 July 2026, the Italian Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 5.8% year-over-year in June, down from a 7.3% annual increase recorded in May 2026.

The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, with the current reading measuring price changes in June 2026 against June 2025, while the previous indicator reflected the change in May 2026 relative to May 2025. The slowdown from 7.3% to 5.8% suggests that while producer prices in Italy are still rising compared to a year earlier, the pace of increase has begun to cool, potentially reducing some of the inflationary pressure feeding through to consumers and businesses in the months ahead.
