8. GRAPHS and table

I'll add more info later after I read the news summary https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ppi.nr0.htm

PPI data series (yes, it has food & energy included in it): http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/WPSFD4

Core PPI data series (without food nor energy nor trade services): http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/WPSFD49116

As always, I prefer to show everything annualized so as to compare to the Fed's 2% goal and to each other

Regular PPI (includes food & energy & trade services)
Red line indicates the Federal Reserve's 2.0% inflation target


CORE PPI (EXcludes food & energy & trade services)
Red line indicates the Federal Reserve's 2.0% inflation target
The title of the 3 month one got cut off -- the last word is annualized




Percent increases over the past month, over the past 3 months, and over the past 12 months, seasonally adjusted numbers, ANNUALIZED
