WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Producer prices unexpectedly rose 0.7% in October as surging costs of natural gas and home heating oil outweighed cheaper gasoline, but prices outside of food and energy ticked lower, a government report showed on Tuesday.
Economists had expected October prices received by farms, factories and refineries to be flat after a roaring 1.9% gain the month before.

Outside the volatile food and energy sectors however, so-called core producer prices declined 0.3% in October. Economist had forecast a 0.2% increase.

boy am I ever glad that farms, factories and refineries don't use energy or process any food. Otherwise we'd be totally boned with an annualized 15.6% increase in PPI if they did.
Angry yet?
