i thought PPI had been debunked as being not that useful as a leading indicator?
https://www.valueplays.net/2025/09/10/industral-production-continues-to-counter-pmi/
Link provided is for manufacturing PMI - purchasing managers' index (survey-based). There is also services PMI. There are separate PMI surveys by S&P Global and ISM.
PPI is producers' price index that presents a wholesale view of prices and what may trickle down to retail CPI. Both CPI and PPI are measurement-based and produced by BLS.
Anyway, my references are for CPI and PPI.
yes, my typo. am not really too confused regarding consumer affordability, regardless of inflation stats.
for the economy though, industrial production now deemed more useful than PMI, y\n ?
