Economists forecast that producer prices climbed by 0.4% month-over-month and fell 1.1% year-over-year. Excluding food and energy, core PPI is estimated to have climbed by 0.1% and 0.9%, respectively.
Here's Nomura's preview: "Although the lagged effect of the stronger dollar and continuing decline in food prices probably continued to exert disinflationary pressures, the recent stabilization in energy prices and a rebound in retailers' margins are expected to push up the headline index of PPI."
