The Producer Price Index (PPI) program measures the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their output. The prices included in the PPI are from the first commercial transaction for many products and some services [Link].
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes this report around the 11th of each month at 8:30 am. A forex trader may use this indicator to have a better understaning of the US inflation. A better approach to understand inflation is via the use of CPI or rather Consumer Price Index.
