Group 1 - The core point of the article is the significant increase in the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) for July, which saw its largest rise in three years, with a year-on-year increase of 3.3% compared to 2.3% in June, and a month-on-month increase of 0.9%, far exceeding market expectations of 0.2% [1][3] - The core PPI, excluding food and energy, also rose sharply, with a year-on-year increase of 3.7%, the highest since February, and a month-on-month increase of 0.9%, the highest since April 2022 [3][5] - The surge in PPI has led to a decline in U.S. stock index futures, with the Nasdaq futures down 0.36%, S&P 500 down 0.35%, and Dow futures down 0.29%, while the dollar index rose by 0.21% [3][5] Group 2 - A key driver of the PPI increase is the rise in service costs, which increased by 1.1% in July, the largest increase since March 2022, and wholesale and retail profit margins jumped by 2% due to mechanical equipment wholesale [3][5] - The article highlights that the increase in PPI has dampened expectations for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September, as traders are now less confident in the likelihood of a rate cut due to the unexpected inflation data [5][6] - There is a lack of consensus among Federal Reserve officials regarding interest rate cuts, with some advocating for caution until inflation is fully under control, while others support immediate cuts [6][8]
