According to Jinshi, U.S. producer prices rose less than expected in July, highlighting the continued easing of inflationary pressures. Data released on Tuesday showed that the PPI index, which represents final demand, rose 0.1% from the previous month. The median forecast of the agency's survey of economists was an increase of 0.2%. In addition, compared with a year ago, the PPI rose 2.2%. Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, the PPI in July was flat from the previous month, the mildest reading in four months. The more closely watched CPI data will be released on Wednesday, and the index is expected to show a small increase. Against the backdrop of fading inflationary pressures, weak employment data in July prompted economists to expect the Federal Reserve to start a series of interest rate cuts from next month.
