Tariffs Lift Wholesale Prices in January, Foreshadowing Higher Consumer Costs

U.S. wholesale prices rose 0.5% in January, nudging the annual Producer Price Index down to 2.9% but signaling tariff-driven costs could spill into consumer prices. The core PPI jumped 0.8% (3.6% year over year), led by a surge in trade services and price pressures in goods like apparel, chemicals, and electronics. Economists warn that tariff pass-throughs to retailers and consumers could keep inflation elevated, while markets fell on the inflation data amid expectations the Fed could pause rate cuts.

Wholesale inflation stays hot as PPI beats expectations in January

U.S. producer prices rose 0.5% in January, hotter than the 0.3% consensus and December’s revised gain, with the year-over-year PPI at 2.9% and core PPI up 0.8% MoM (3.6% YoY). The report shows persistent wholesale inflation, as final-demand services jumped 0.8% (led by trade services) while final-demand goods fell 0.3% (energy and food declines, with gasoline driving much of the drop). This could feed into consumer prices in coming months, even as CPI appeared cooler in January.

Bitcoin Breaks $97K as Crypto Decouples From Stocks on Inflation News

Bitcoin jumped to about $97,000 after the Wall Street open, diverging from a declining stock market as hotter-than-expected PPI data clashed with expectations of a Fed pause. The move was helped by a Supreme Court delay on tariffs, while analysts say BTC would need to stay above roughly $93,500 to sustain a new bull phase; at the time of writing, BTC hovered around $97,350.

Wholesale prices cling to gains in November, signaling persistent inflation

US wholesale inflation rose 0.2% in November, lifting the year-over-year Producer Price Index to about 3%. Energy costs helped push prices higher, while core PPI was flat for the month, keeping the 12‑month core rate near 3%. The report also showed margins in trade services slipping, suggesting higher costs are being absorbed rather than fully passed to consumers. Tariffs on imports are cited as a cost driver amid a softer labor market and slower wage growth, with some firms cutting prices to support affordability.
