PPI (Seasonally Adjusted)
Bureau of Labor Statistics
The Producer Price Index (PPI) is a family of indexes that measures the average change over time in selling prices received by domestic producers of goods and services. PPIs measure price change from the perspective of the seller. This contrasts with other measures, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI), that measure price change from the purchaser's perspective. Sellers' and purchasers' prices may differ due to government subsidies, sales and excise taxes, and distribution costs. BLS's PPI sample includes over 25,000 establishments providing approximately 100,000 price quotations per month.
