Dirk Hanlon: wholesale prices rose six point three percent in a year. Gus: it's all gas; skip the pump and we're rich. Dot: Father, without food and energy, prices still rose five percent. Gus: eggs? Dot: eggs fell thirty-nine point seven percent; air fares rose. Lorraine: what do we eat, dear? Gus: eggs. Forever. By candlelight.
Take gasoline out of September's wholesale price jump and prices were still rising: core producer prices excluding food and energy rose 0.7% in the month and 5% over the year, up from 4.6% in August, with electricity, vegetables, shipping and air fares dearer; goods prices rose 2.6%, the most since that series began in 2009, while egg prices fell 39.7% and fuel retailers' margins fell 30.3%.
