PPI DROPS RECORD-TYING 1.6%

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released the October Producer Price Index Tuesday and it revealed a decline in producer or wholesale prices of 1.6%, easing inflationary concerns a bit, and tying the record drop set in 2001. In another positive sign on the inflation front, Core PPI, which excludes food and energy, declined 0.9%, the biggest drop in 13 years.
