What this release measures
The Producer Price Index measures average changes in prices that domestic producers receive for their output. BLS publishes indexes for goods, services, and construction across multiple stages of production.
The monthly report includes headline measures and detailed categories. “Final demand” refers to goods, services, and construction sold for personal consumption, capital investment, government, and export.
Why the Federal Reserve watches it
PPI can reveal price pressure earlier in the production pipeline and helps policymakers assess whether inflation is broadening or easing before it reaches consumers.
PPI is not the Fed’s inflation target and does not translate one-for-one into CPI or PCE. Policymakers compare it with consumer inflation, wages, productivity, expectations, and demand.
How to read the schedule
- Every date and 8:30 AM ET publication time in the table comes from the official BLS 2026 release calendar.
- The table shows 13 publication dates because two different reference periods are scheduled in January 2026.
- “Period covered” identifies the month whose producer prices are measured, not the publication month.
- BLS can revise the schedule and the estimates, so confirm the linked official calendar before a time-sensitive decision.
