Wholesale prices rose at a faster-than-expected pace in January, countering hopes that inflation was easing, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.

The core producer price index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, increased a seasonally adjusted 0.8%, more than the 0.6% gain in December and well ahead of the Dow Jones consensus estimate for 0.3%.

4. Just to be clear (with emphasis): the core PPI for January rose at almost TRIPLE the expected pace.

I've never seen any price gauge come in that far above expectations. And something to remember - retail/consumer price increases generally follow increases in wholesale prices. So the wholesale prices go up first and then are passed along to the consumer. Expect big increases in inflation (the CPI) in the next several months.

5. Huh uh.

An 11 ounce can of coffee is more than $10 because of the tariffs and inflation.

One year ago, it cost $5.99.

Ground chuck was $2.99 a pound a year ago. It's $5.99 a pound now. And I'm not talking sirloin.
