Gus Goes Wholesale

Dirk Hanlon: wholesale gasoline jumped twenty point three percent in September. Gus: I'll buy my gas wholesale and save. Dot: wholesale is what the station pays. Gus: then I'll become a gas station. Lorraine: with what, dear? Dot: energy drove a record goods jump (goods +2.6%, energy +10.8%); core goods, without food and energy, rose point three. Gus: I'll walk.

September's 1.3% jump in wholesale prices was mostly fuel: goods prices rose 2.6%, the biggest rise since the series began in 2009, with more than 80% of it from a 10.8% jump in energy as wholesale gasoline rose 20.3% in one month; goods excluding food and energy rose only 0.3%, though services rose 0.8% and core prices excluding food, energy and trade rose 0.5%.
