“The Producer Price Index for final demand increased 0.7 percent in February, seasonally adjusted, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Final demand prices moved up 0.5 percent in January and 0.4 percent in December 2025. On an unadjusted basis, the index for final demand rose 3.4 percent for the 12 months ended in February, the largest 12-month advance since increasing 3.4 percent in February 2025. More than half of the February rise in prices for final demand can be attributed to a 0.5-percent advance in the index for final demand services. Prices for final demand goods increased 1.1 percent,” says the BLS’s monthly Producer Price Index report on the ravages of Bidenomics on working class Americans and small businesses in the nation’s heartland.
Per CNBC, the 0.7 jump was more than twice the 0.3 percent economists had expected, spelling serious Midterms trouble for vulnerable Democrats weighed down by Biden’s inflationary policies.
