US August PPI rises 5.4% Y/Y, core flat to expectations

US producer prices climbed 0.4% M/M and 5.4% Y/Y in August, beating core expectations; core PPI rose 0.2% M/M (below +0.3% est.) and 4.6% Y/Y (in-line). The softer core M/M print could ease hawkish Fed repricing, but headline beat and elevated Y/Y readings keep inflation narrative alive heading into September rate decision.
