PPI m/m (Producer Price Index) — November 13, 2026

What it is

PPI and PCE measure inflation upstream of the shopper — at the wholesale (producer) and personal-consumption level. They often lead CPI by a month and feed directly into the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, so a surprise here reshapes rate expectations before CPI even prints. Lower-volatility than CPI, but they still move the dollar and, with it, crypto risk appetite.

What to watch

Watch whether producer prices confirm or contradict the latest CPI trend — a divergence is what surprises the market. Core PCE, released later in the month, is the gauge the Fed actually targets.

How to trade it

• Reduce position size in the hour before the release.
• Watch BTC for direction, then rotate to high-beta alts on confirmation.
• Avoid market orders in the first 60 seconds — slippage is brutal.
• Use a stop-loss in case the move reverses (the initial spike often fades within 15 minutes).
