Wholesale prices fell unexpectedly in August, easing concerns of a tariff-driven spike in supplier costs, according to ABC News. Producer prices dropped 0.1 in August, partially reversing July’s sharp increase, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Trump’s tariff escalations have made monthly wholesale-price data a key gauge of potential cost pass-through to consumers. Producer prices jumped 0.9 in July, raising inflation fears, but August’s decline may ease concerns ahead of Thursday’s consumer price report. Wholesale prices rose 2.8 year-over-year through August, the largest annual increase since March.
