Producer prices in Canada advanced 0.8% month-over-month in April of 2022, easing from a downwardly revised, 42-year high, 3.4% jump in the prior month but above market estimates of a 0.5% rise. It was the eighth consecutive monthly increase, with main upward pressure coming from energy and petroleum products (5.2%), largely due to surging prices for jet fuel (50.5%) because of record-low inventory levels in the US during the month. Producer costs also rose for primary ferrous metals (3.3%), driven by lower steel production in China amid their strict Covid lockdowns. A steeper rise in the IPPI was capped by lower prices for lumber and other wood products (-8.2%), driven by softwood lumber (-13.7%), possibly due to higher mortgage rates in the US. Year-over-year, the IPPI rose by 16.4%, easing from the downwardly revised 17.9% in the prior month. source: Statistics Canada

Canada Producer Prices Rise the Most in 66 Years
Producer prices in Canada jumped 4% month-over-month in March of 2022, the seventh consecutive monthly increase, and the largest monthly change on record since the series began in 1956. Main upward pressure came from prices of refined petroleum products (18.8%), which posted the largest increase on record for that series since it began in January 2010, driven by oil supply uncertainty caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Other significant increases were observed in prices of several metal products, of which primary non-ferrous metal products (9.2%) and primary ferrous metal products (4.1%). Costs were also higher for softwood lumber (8%); ammonia and chemical fertilizers (7.8%) and intermediate food products (3.3%) and animal feed (5.1%).
