Producer Price Index (PPI): release dates, results and history
Producer Price Index (PPI) last printed 0.40% on Thu, Sep 10, 2026 against a 0.40% consensus forecast and a 0.00% prior, exactly on consensus. The next release is Thursday, October 15, 2026 at 8:30 AM ET. Captured live by Helious the moment it printed.
PPI is pipeline inflation, what producers are charging before the cost reaches the consumer. Rates desks care most about the components that feed straight into core PCE, and that means portfolio management, healthcare and airfares. So PPI day is mostly about sharpening the PCE forecast. Put a hot PPI on top of a hot CPI and the repricing compounds.
The trend
How it moves Treasuries
Hotter PPI is bearish for Treasuries, but on its own it moves less than CPI does. The reaction gets bigger when the components that matter for PCE surprise, because that shifts core PCE estimates, and rates follow.
