In October 2021, the PPI for commodities increased by 22.2 percent compared to October 2020. The commodity classification structure organizes goods and services by similarity of material composition or end use, disregarding their industry of origin. The Producer Price Index (PPI) program measures the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their output. The prices included in the PPI are from the first commercial transaction for many products and some services.
