FX.co ★ UK July PPI Output Growth Cools to 3.1% Year-on-Year

Producer price inflation at factory gate in the United Kingdom eased in July 2026, with PPI Output rising 3.1% year-on-year, down from 3.5% in June 2026. The latest figures, updated on 19 August 2026, indicate a modest cooling in price pressures at the production level.

Both the current and previous readings compare price changes to the same month a year earlier, showing that while output prices are still rising, the pace of increase has slowed. This deceleration in annual producer price growth may signal some easing of cost pressures for manufacturers, which could, over time, filter through to consumer prices and broader inflation dynamics.
