Washington — U.S. wholesale prices rose 4% year‑over‑year in March 2025 as energy costs surged following the Iran war, the Labor Department reported this week. The producer price index increased 0.5% from February, with energy prices up 8.5% month‑to‑month and core producer prices rising 0.1% in monthly terms. Wholesale gains were the largest annual increase in over three years. Economists noted the wholesale gain was smaller than some forecasts, and officials said the surge complicates Federal Reserve policy as policymakers balance inflation risks and political pressure from President Trump to lower rates. Food prices fell 0.3% in March after a prior 2.4% increase, and wholesale data continue to serve as an early indicator of where consumer inflation may move in coming months.
