Index

A crypto Index provides a way for investors to gain diversified exposure to a specific basket of digital assets through a single tokenized product. These indices often track specific sectors, such as DeFi, DePIN, or RWA, and are automatically rebalanced via smart contracts. In 2026, AI-managed thematic indices have become the gold standard for passive investing, allowing users to track the "blue chips" of the Web3 economy without manual portfolio management. This tag covers index methodology, rebalancing frequency, and the benefits of diversified crypto baskets.

PPI inflation August 2025:

PPI inflation August 2025:

The post PPI inflation August 2025: appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. People shop for dairy products at a supermarket in Monterey Park, California on September 9, 2025. Frederic J. Brown | Afp | Getty Images Wholesale prices surprisingly fell slightly in August, providing breathing room for the Federal Reserve to approve an interest rate cut at its meeting this month, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report Wednesday. The producer price index, which measures input costs across a broad array of goods and services, fell 0.1% for the month, after a sharp increase in July and well off the Dow Jones estimate for a 0.3% increase. Core PPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also was off 0.1% after being expected to increase 0.3% as well. The release comes a week ahead of when the central bank’s Federal Open Market Committee releases its decision on its key overnight borrowing rate. Futures market pricing implies a 100% probability that the committee will approve its first rate cut since December 2024, though the PPI release and a consumer price reading tomorrow are being watched closely for indications of whether policymakers will follow through. Services prices, a key metric for the Fed when evaluating the stance of monetary policy, posted a 0.2% drop, helping drive wholesale inflation lower. A 1.7% slide in prices for trade services was the primary impetus, with margins for machinery and vehicle wholesaling tumbling 3.9%. Goods prices did increase, but just 0.1% as core prices increased 0.3%. While final demand food costs were up 0.1%, energy was off 0.4%. Though inflation remains well above the Fed’s 2% target, officials have expressed confidence that easing housing and wage pressures will push prices lower, if only gradually. The Fed has resisted rate cuts this year as officials monitor the impact from President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariffs against U.S. imports. Tariffs…

Unexpected decline in U.S. PPI in August strengthens case for Fed rate cut

Unexpected decline in U.S. PPI in August strengthens case for Fed rate cut

PANews reported on September 10th that according to Jinshi, the U.S. producer price index unexpectedly fell in August, the first decline in four months, further strengthening the case for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. According to a report released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday, the Producer Price Index (PPI) fell 0.1% month-over-month, with July's data revised downward. Year-over-year, the PPI rose 2.6%. The report showed that despite Trump's tariffs pushing up business costs, businesses avoided significant price increases last month. While the decline followed a sharp increase in July, many businesses are concerned that significant price increases could scare off customers amid ongoing economic uncertainty affecting consumer decisions. Prices of goods excluding food and energy rose 0.3%, while the cost of services fell 0.2%. In the services sector, profit margins for wholesalers and retailers fell 1.7%, the largest drop in over a year. Profit margins have fluctuated significantly from month to month this year, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the impact of trade policy on prices and demand.

Analysts comment on the US August PPI: CPI data may also be weaker than expected, just like PPI

Analysts comment on the US August PPI: CPI data may also be weaker than expected, just like PPI

PANews reported on September 10th that according to Jinshi, Adam Button, an analyst at the US financial website investinglive, said tomorrow's Consumer Price Index (CPI) report is a strong signal that the data may fall short of expectations, prompting a rally in US stock index futures. A lower-than-expected CPI result—especially one so significant—would increase the likelihood of a 50 basis point interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The Producer Price Index (PPI), excluding food and energy, saw its largest month-over-month decline in the past decade.
