U.S. Producer Price Index for May

Prices of goods and services in the U.S. rose by less than expected in May, indicating that President Trump's tariffs are not significantly impacting inflation. The producer price index for final demand increased by 0.1%, half of what economists had predicted. Core producer prices rose by 0.1% as well. The index measures prices paid to domestic producers of goods and services, not just wholesale prices.
