August US PPIs show a stabilization! Will that last?

avatar

Hi HODLers,

Opposite of what I expected, PPI numbers declined in August by 0.1% MoM. Services fell 0.2%. When decompositing what is happening, Services went down and goods inflation ticked slightly up MoM.

I don't think we can read much about it yet but if nothing else shows in September numbers, one could assume that President Trump was right and the inflation from tariffs will be limited.

Goods

I find this second chart quite interesting. As we can see the Final Demand goods keep trending up since April 2025 (beginning of tariffs) but is slowing down. Are we stabilizing for good or just waiting for another acceleration post Summer? Time will tell!

Services

Tomorrow's August CPPI numbers

August CPI ex food & Energy is expected to be 0.3% MoM
August CPI NSA YoY is expected at 2.9%

Sleep tight and keep stacking these $LEO or $BTC!

The world of economics is very complex. You know I had to spend some time digestion that definition. At least something learnt even when not able to get much out of the graphs. Thanks
