About PPI: Unprocessed Goods for Intermediate Demand

What it measures

The Producer Price Index for Unprocessed Goods for Intermediate Demand (FRED series WPSID62) tracks prices of raw materials entering the production process for the first time, including crude petroleum, natural gas, raw farm products, ores, and scrap. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes it monthly as the earliest stage of the PPI intermediate demand system, capturing commodity costs before any manufacturing value is added.

Why it matters

Sitting at the very start of the production pipeline, this index reacts to commodity shocks before intermediate or finished goods prices do, giving analysts the earliest producer-price signal of inflation building or unwinding. Commodity strategists use it as a broad domestic raw-materials barometer, and macro forecasters watch whether its moves propagate downstream or get absorbed, which reveals the strength of pricing power along the chain.

How to read it

This is the most volatile major PPI aggregate; monthly moves of several percent and annual swings above 20 percent are common, driven heavily by energy and farm prices. Most spikes fade without reaching consumers, so avoid extrapolating single readings into CPI forecasts. The meaningful signal is persistence: raw material inflation sustained across several months that intermediate goods prices begin to echo.
