US Producer Prices Post Modest 0.2% Rise, Below Forecasts

Published: 01-14-2025, 10:30 am | Updated: 01-14-2025, 10:15 am

December’s wholesale inflation data revealed a surprising slowdown, with the Producer Price Index rising only 0.2% monthly, falling short of economists’ expectations of 0.4%. This moderation was largely attributed to a 0.1% decline in food prices, including a significant 15% drop in vegetable costs, along with unchanged services prices. While energy costs rose 3.5%, the core PPI measure, excluding food and energy, remained flat from November. The report gains particular significance ahead of the consumer price index release and amid recent increases in commodity prices, including oil and agricultural products. Despite the modest inflation reading, the combination of price pressures and a strong job market has led Federal Reserve officials to remain cautious about interest rate cuts in the coming year.

How Central Banks Decide How Much Gold to Hold

The World Gold Council’s 2026 survey asked 76 central banks how they decide how much gold to hold. The answer comes down to three objectives: safety, liquidity, and return — in that order.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
