SEPTEMBER PPI SURGES 0.8%, WAY HOTTER THAN ESTIMATES

Update:
The number is out, and it's HOT!
PPI hs jumped 0.8%, well above the 0.2% analysts had expected.
Core PPI, which excludes food and energy, was only up 0.2%, which is still above the 0.1% that analysts had expected.
The culprit? Blame food and energy.
In September, the increase in the index for finished goods was broad based, with prices for finished energy goods rising 2.3 percent, the index for finished goods less foods and energy moving up 0.2 percent, and prices for finished consumer foods advancing 0.6 percent. Finished energy: The index for finished energy goods advanced 2.3 percent in September after decreasing in each of the previous three months. Nearly seventy percent of this rise can be attributed to the gasoline index, which increased 4.2 percent. Higher prices for liquefied petroleum gas and diesel fuel also were factors in the rise in the finished energy goods index.
