Maximum values for the producer price index were seen in March through August of this year. Nearly all G20 nations' producer prices in October were lower than they were in September. More moderate changes in consumer prices are being caused by a reduction in pricing pressures and an improvement in the supply situation.

However, experts caution that the consumer price scenario would likely stay unstable because of continued supply chain problems and geopolitical uncertainties.
