The Labor Department said Thursday that its producer price index – which measures inflation before it reaches consumers – climbed 0.5 percent in April from March. That is a slowdown from the previous month, however, when it jumped 1.6 percent.
The 11 percent year-over-year increase in April is a slight decline from the 11.5 percent annual gain in March, which was the biggest increase since records began in 2010.
Still, the April figure represents a painfully high increase, and stock index futures traded down on Wednesday as inflation fears continued to weigh on Wall Street.
