US Producer Prices Seen Rising 0.5%, Annual Rate to Accelerate
US producer prices are expected to increase by 0.5% month-on-month in April 2026, matching the pace recorded in both February and March, as energy costs continue to face upward pressure amid the ongoing conflict with Iran. Core producer prices, which exclude the volatile food and energy components, are forecast to rise 0.3%, following a more modest 0.1% increase in the previous month. On an annual basis, headline producer inflation is projected to accelerate sharply to 4.9%, marking a third consecutive monthly increase and reaching its highest level since January 2023, up from 4.0% in March.

US Producer Prices Rise Less than Expected in March
US producer prices increased by 0.5% month-over-month in March 2026, matching the previous period’s growth and falling short of market expectations of 1.1%. Goods prices surged 1.6%, the largest increase since August 2023, fueled by an 8.5% jump in energy costs, largely attributed to the ongoing Iran conflict. Meanwhile, final demand food prices declined by 0.3%. On the services side, prices remained unchanged after a 0.3% increase in February. Within this category, a 1.3% rise in transportation and warehousing costs, along with a 0.1% uptick in other final demand services, offset a 0.3% decline in trade service margins. Year-over-year, producer prices rose 4%, the largest increase since February 2023 but still below the expected 4.6%. The core index, excluding food, energy, and trade services, edged up 0.2% month-over-month, slower than the 0.5% gains seen in both January and February, and climbed 3.6% year-over-year.
