Inflation watch: Wholesale prices rose 0.2% in December, less than expected

Wholesale prices in December rose less than expected, with the producer price index (PPI) increasing by just 0.2%, below the 0.4% forecast.

On an annual basis, the PPI rose 3.3%, up from 1.1% in 2023.

Stock market futures surged, and Treasury yields fell after the release, CNBC has reported.
