Furthermore, the core PPI, which excludes food and energy, rose by 3.6% year-on-year, surpassing both the Wall Street forecast of 3.0% and the previous value of 3.3%. The month-on-month growth also exceeded market expectations, rising by 0.8%. This round of production-side inflation was higher than expected across the board, with the core driver mainly coming from rising service sector costs, reflecting persistent price pressures in labor-intensive sectors. Additionally, geopolitical tensions continue to escalate. After the US and Israel launched attacks on Saturday, Iran attacked several allies in the Middle East in retaliation, such as Israel. Donald Trump warned that if Iran retaliates, the US will counterattack with unprecedented force. This will drive up oil and gold prices in the short term.
