In March 2025, US factory gate prices are anticipated to increase by 0.2% from the previous month, following no change in February. Annually, producer price inflation is expected to slightly rise to 3.3% from the previous 3.2%. Concurrently, the core Producer Price Index (PPI), which omits the volatile categories of food and energy, is predicted to climb by 0.3% monthly, recovering from a 0.1% downturn observed in February. On a year-over-year basis, core PPI is set to rise to 3.6% from 3.4%. Investors will also be vigilantly observing for any preliminary signs of inflationary pressures as a result of tariffs, particularly the 10% duty on Chinese imports and the heightened tariffs on global steel and aluminum, implemented in February.
