Suppliers Making Price Changes

U.S. supplier prices have begun to slow down, signaling a possible inflation cool down in the future.

Key Details

  • Inflation has been affecting people in the U.S. for months and finally signs are showing that a potential cool down could be on the way.
  • U.S. supplier costs have slowed down for the second continuous month which is good news for inflation prices.
  • The Producer Price Index (PPI) climbed only 8% in October compared to the same month last year. Although this number is still high it is a big difference from the 11.7% increase in March—signaling possible signs of an inflation cooling.

Why it’s news

Americans have been suffering from skyrocketing inflation prices for months forcing many families to dial back on non-essential items and save as much money as possible.

For a while there was no easing of inflation in sight, but prices are beginning to ease a little. Prices are still high, but are slowly dropping giving hope that inflation could soon slow down.

The PPI climbed only 8% in October compared to the same month last year. The prices are still rising relatively fast, but marked an easing from September’s 8.4% increase, and was down sharply from the 11.7% increase in March, the highest since records began in 2010, according to Wall Street Journal writer, Gwynn Guilford.

The Federal Reserve has been hiking interest rates in an effort to bring down inflation without starting a recession and these new inflation numbers going down might allow for the Fed to start lowering rates.

“The improvement in the October inflation data, if it persists, supports the Fed’s expectation of a step down in the pace of increases going forward,” says High Frequency Economics economist Rubeela Farooqi.

debt ceiling

The U.S. Senate has announced hearings for committees to analyze the debt-ceiling bill passed by the Republican-led House last week. 

Key Details

  • Though the White House has stood firm in its refusal to negotiate the debt-ceiling terms with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the House passed a bill last week to jumpstart negotiations. 
  • Senate Majority Leader Chuch Schumer (D-NY) announced Monday that Senate committees would evaluate the recently passed bill.
  • While McCarthy’s bill attempts to bring President Joe Biden to the table, the bill is unlikely to pass in the Senate. 
  •  "The president says, 'I'm not going to talk to him until he offers a plan,’" McCarthy says. "Not only did we offer a plan, we passed it.”

The owner of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury is striking out on his own—shifting away from traditional broadcasting deals. 

Key Details

  • The bankruptcy of Diamond Sports Group in March has resulted in numerous sports teams attempting to void their streaming contracts. 
  • Two Phoenix, Arizona-based teams are making a similar attempt, shaking their traditional local streaming contract with Bally Sports Arizona to seek new opportunities. 
  • Both teams announced on Friday that games will be broadcast on over-the-air local television in Phoenix, Tucson, and Yuma and that free broadcasts will be made available through streaming. 
  • Diamond has argued that the announcement is a breach of contract for the sports teams, while ESPN is warning that the decision could cost tens of millions of dollars in the short term for the teams. 
  • The team owner believes the change will “more than triple the reach” of their audience.
