The story goes up on this page shortly after the release: the new numbers, how they compare with before and what they mean for your money. Until then, here is what the release measures and where the last report left off.
What it measures
Measures the prices US businesses receive for their goods and services, or inflation at the wholesale level.
Why it matters for your money
Several PPI components feed straight into the PCE price index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, so forecasters use it to firm up their PCE estimates.
