The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics According to data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday, the seasonally adjusted producer price index rose by 0.2 percent on a monthly basis in June after the previous month’s stagnation. The analyst consensus included a monthly increase of 0.1 percent for June.
