Data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on May 15, 2025, shows that the Producer Price Index (PPI) for April in the United States decreased by 0.5% month-over-month, marking the largest decline in five years, while an increase of 0.2% was expected; year-over-year, it rose by 2.4%, below the expected 2.5%, with the previous value at 2.7%. The continued decline in PPI data may indicate a slowdown in U.S. economic activity, and it is necessary to monitor subsequent data to assess the economic trend.
