What happened
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Producer Price Index for September surged 1.3 percent, or 6.3 percent annualized, which was higher than expected and the highest print in four years. David Russell, global head of market strategy at TradeStation, told CNBC that this report confirms inflation is worsening as energy prices remain high.
Why it matters
Russell stated that because prices are rising, the FED might be forced to act. This commentary followed a day when the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose more than 500 points despite the release of the key inflation measure.
