Does PPI lead and CPI lag? [View all]

PPI was down Wednesday and today CPI is up. Historically, is PPI more of a leading indicator than CPI? Or is the PPI yesterday a blip of some kind that will come back so that PPI and CPI move more together again?

Generally yes FBaggins Thursday #1

Thanks. You are right. Too easy for one month to be a blip. Bernardo de La Paz Thursday #4

Leading, Lagging, and Coincident Indicators (PPI is not listed in any category) Wiz Imp Thursday #2

Thx. So we see CPI for Services is lagging and no PPI. I guess they use the other manufacturing indicators. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Thursday #3
