Due to the impact of rising energy costs, the U.S. Producer Price Index for September exceeded expectations across the board, indicating that the effects of rising energy prices are being transmitted to various sectors of the U.S. economy. Data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Thursday showed that the Producer Price Index for September rose 1.3% month-on-month and 6.3% year-on-year.Excluding food and energy, the core PPI rose 0.7% month-on-month and 5% year-on-year. The report indicated that while fuel prices are rising, underlying inflationary pressures in the U.S. remain stubborn. With only a few weeks left until the midterm elections in November, the burden of living costs has become a central issue in the election.This data may also prompt Federal Reserve officials to continue raising interest rates in the coming months, especially as another report released on Wednesday showed that a key consumer price index in the U.S. for September rose more than expected. The report also indicated that price pressures are expected to remain high in the coming months. An indicator measuring input price expectations for the next six months rose to its highest level since 2022.

Analysts say that diesel is an important input for road freight, rail transport, and agricultural production. Rising prices will first push up production and transportation costs for businesses, and then gradually transmit through fuel surcharges, transportation contracts, and retail pricing, with cost pass-through potentially lagging. The Trump administration has temporarily relaxed some restrictions on agricultural fuel use and stated that Russia will supply diesel to the global market. Industry insiders believe these measures are unlikely to resolve refining capacity and finished oil supply bottlenecks in the short term.
