Producer Price Index (PPI) Report shows a 0.4% rise in January 2025, exceeding estimates of 0.3%. However, signs of easing inflation in healthcare and travel suggest a less aggressive outlook for the Federal Reserve. Stock market futures moved higher, Treasury yields fell, and experts now predict rate cuts may be delayed until October 2024. The annual PPI jumped 3.5%, while consumer inflation remains at 3%. With rising fuel and food costs, the Fed's Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, due later this month, will be crucial in shaping future interest rate decisions.
