What is PPI?<\/strong> PPI (the Producer Price Index) measures the change over time in the selling prices that domestic producers receive for their goods and services. In the United States, US PPI<\/strong> data is published on a regular schedule by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)<\/strong>, and it is one of the inflation indicators financial markets follow most closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
