FX.co ★ UK’s PPI Output Declines Further in June, Falling to -0.3%

The United Kingdom's Producer Price Index (PPI) output has continued its downward trajectory, registering a -0.3% change in June 2024, compared to the previous month. The latest statistics were updated on July 17, 2024, illustrating a concerning trend for the country’s production costs.

This recent figure marks a larger dip than May 2024, during which the PPI output had recorded a -0.1% change from April. The month-over-month comparison indicates that the slip in June is more pronounced, suggesting ongoing challenges in the UK's production sector.

Economists and industry analysts are keeping a close eye on these developments, as sustained decreases in PPI output may signal weakening producer pricing power and potential impacts on the broader economic landscape.
