About PPI: Processed Goods for Intermediate Demand

What it measures

The Producer Price Index for Processed Goods for Intermediate Demand (FRED series WPSID61) measures prices of partially finished goods sold to businesses as inputs, such as steel, lumber, chemicals, fabricated parts, and processed fuels. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes it monthly within the intermediate demand framework of the PPI program, positioning it between crude materials and finished products in the production pipeline.

Why it matters

Because these are the inputs manufacturers buy, the index leads finished goods prices and offers an early read on cost pressure building inside supply chains. Purchasing managers and industrial analysts track it to anticipate margin swings at fabricators, builders, and equipment makers. Sharp sustained increases often precede either consumer goods inflation or profit warnings, depending on how much pricing power downstream firms hold.

How to read it

The series is considerably more volatile than finished goods PPI, with wide swings driven by metals, chemicals, and energy feedstocks. Year-over-year changes routinely reach double digits in both directions around commodity cycles. Compare its momentum with finished goods PPI: intermediate prices rising faster implies margin squeeze in manufacturing, while a rollover in this index frequently marks the peak of a goods inflation episode.
