Wholesale prices rising at fastest pace since 1981 By MARTIN CRUTSINGER, AP Economics Writer
9 minutes ago


The government says wholesale inflation surged in July, leaving prices for the past year rising at the fastest pace in 27 years.

The Labor Department reported that wholesale prices shot up 1.2 percent in July, pushed higher by rising costs for energy, motor vehicles and other products. The increase was more than twice the 0.5 percent gain that economists expected.

Core prices, which exclude food and energy, rose 0.7 percent. That increase was the biggest since November 2006, and more than triple the 0.2 percent rise in core prices that had been expected.
