US EditionUS wholesale prices dropped 0.5% last month despite President Trump’s tariffs
- The U.S. Producer price index fell 0.5% in April 2025, marking the largest drop in five years and the first since October 2023.
- This decline occurred despite President Trump's ongoing and recently reduced tariffs on imports, which many economists expected to increase prices over time.
- Core wholesale prices excluding food and energy declined 0.4% in April, with service prices dropping 0.7%, the largest fall in government records dating back to 2009.

- The PPI drop suggests wholesale inflation eased in April while consumer inflation rose 2.3% annually, the smallest increase in over four years, signaling a possible slowdown in price pressures.
