News about producer prices

Germany's industrial producer prices rose 6.7% year-on-year in September, up from 4.6% in the previous month, according to preliminary data from Destatis. The increase was the fastest since early 2023 and was led by higher energy prices and a significant rise in intermediate goods prices. The reading was also the highest since March 2023, when prices rose 7.5%.

CNBC's financial news report, broadcast on China's CCTV on October 16, 2026, said hotter-than-expected PPI data showed price pressures spreading from energy into the broader economy. Forecasts from seven Wall Street institutions project core PCE to rise 0.32% month over month in September, up from 0.25% in August. The CME FedWatch tool shows a market-implied probability above 90% of at least one more Fed rate hike before year end. Yet the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell to 5.04%, its lowest in three weeks, before settling at 5.09%, as safe-haven demand and concerns over AI-related financing risks outweighed inflation fears. September PPI growth exceeds CPI growth by 2.6 percentage points, signaling that production costs are rising faster than consumer prices.
