Oh Gee, who could have predicted another hot inflation number?

 Core wholesale prices rose 0.8% in January, much more than expected

 

The not-seasonally-adjusted increase in Jan 2026 was 3.58% year over year and a whopping 1.037% on a monthly basis.

Wholesale prices climbed at an average rate of 3.3% in 2025 under Trump, higher than either 2023 or 2024 under Biden, with no let up in sight.
