Aktuell: US-Erzeugerpreise niedriger als erwartet

Die US-Erzeugerpreise (April) sind mit +0,1% zum Vormonat niedriger ausgefallen als erwartet (Prognose war +0,2%; Vormonat war +0,3%). Zum Vorjahresmonat stiegen die Erzeugerpreise um +2,6% (Prognose war +2,8%; Vormomat war +3,0%).

In der Kernrate (ohne Nahrung und Energie) stiegen die Erzeugerpreise um +0,2% zum Vormonat (Prognose war +0,2%; Vormomat war +0,3%) und um +2,3% zum Vorjahresmonat (Prognose war +2,4%; Vormomat war +2,7%).

Die Erzeugerpreise gelten als wichtiger Frühindikator für die Verbraucherpreise, weil die Unternehmen gestiegene Kosten an die Verbaucher normalerweise weiter geben..

Zu den Daten schreibt das Bureau of Labor Statistics, das die Daten erhebt:

„The Producer Price Index for final demand rose 0.1 percent in April, seasonally adjusted, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Final demand prices advanced 0.3 percent in March and 0.2 percent in February. (See table A.) On an unadjusted basis, the final demand
index increased 2.6 percent for the 12 months ended in April.

In April, the index for final demand services advanced 0.1 percent, and prices for final demand goods were unchanged.

The index for final demand less foods, energy, and trade services edged up 0.1 percent in April after increasing 0.4 percent in March. For the 12 months ended in April, prices for final demand less foods, energy, and trade services advanced 2.5 percent.

Final Demand

Final demand services: Prices for final demand services inched up 0.1 percent in April, the fourth straight rise. The advance in April was led by the index for final demand trade services, which increased 0.2 percent. (Trade indexes measure changes in margins received by wholesalers and
retailers.) Prices for final demand transportation and warehousing services rose 0.6 percent. Conversely, the index for final demand services less trade, transportation, and warehousing services declined 0.1 percent.

Product detail: A major factor in the April advance in prices for final demand services was the index for machinery, equipment, parts, and supplies wholesaling, which climbed 0.9 percent. The indexes for services related to securities brokerage and dealing (partial), residential real estate loans (partial), airline passenger services, and wireless telecommunication services also moved higher. In contrast, prices for traveler accommodation services fell 3.2 percent. The indexes for health, beauty, and optical goods retailing; legal services; and apparel wholesaling also decreased. (See table 4.)

Final demand goods: Prices for final demand goods were unchanged in April after increasing 0.3 percent in March. In April, a 0.3-percent rise in the index for final demand goods less foods and energy and a 0.1-percent advance in prices for final demand energy offset a 1.1-percent drop in the index for final demand foods.
