What happened
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that final-demand prices fell 0.3% in June as goods prices dropped 1.4%, led by a 12% fall in gasoline. Services rose 0.2%. The index excluding food, energy, and trade services rose 0.1% for the month and 5.1% over 12 months.
Pressure point
The monthly decline was concentrated in energy and does not establish broad disinflation. Revisions raised or changed several earlier monthly readings, and the latest oil move falls outside June's measurement window.
What to watch
July energy and transportation prices, data-processing services, steel and plastic inputs, revisions, consumer pass-through, margins, and whether annual core producer inflation begins to fall.
