Doesn't matter. The core PPI is such a lagging indicator that it's almost irrelevant. It's only use is to justify to the public that crashing equity prices and slowing consumer spending are not the only sources of inflation. The inflation beast is out of the cage and all available dollars are trying to keep it's messenger silent.

The non-core cpi will be unchanged or possibly down, because the time frame over which it was sampled had relatively weak crude prices compared to the one before. This will be spun as good, and the core will be steady or up, which will also be spun as good.

Any idea that inflation is moderated will run up against this reality.
