WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 U.S. producer prices climbed last month at the fastest pace since November 2022, fueled by a surge in energy prices after the start of the\u00a0Iran war.<\/p>\n

The Labor Department reported Thursday that its producer price index \u2014 which captures inflation before it reaches consumers \u2014 jumped 6.5% from May 2025. It also rose 1.1% from April, same as it did the previous month. Wholesale gasoline prices surged by more than 23% from April to May, and nearly 70% from a year earlier.<\/p>\n

Inflationary pressures, intensified by the energy shock caused by the Iran war, are frustrating Americans five months before midterm elections that will determine whether President Donald Trump\u2019s Republicans keep full control of Congress.<\/p>\n

Excluding volatile food and energy prices, so-called core wholesale prices rose 0.4% from April and 4.9% from May 2025.<\/p>\n

The wholesale inflation numbers came out a day after the Labor Department reported that\u00a0consumer prices\u00a0rose 4.2% in May from a year earlier, most in three years. Gasoline prices were up nearly 41% from May 2025. Airfares were up almost 27%.<\/p>\n

Inflation is running well ahead of the Federal Reserve\u2019s 2% target. The central bank is expected to leave its benchmark interest rate unchanged as its meeting next week. But financial markets expect the Fed could raise rates by the end of the year in an effort to curb price increases.<\/p>\n

After the United States and Israel attacked Feb. 28, Iran shut the Strait of Hormuz, causing the biggest disruption in oil supplies in history. Energy prices rocketed. S&P Global Energy warned Thursday that U.S. crude oil inventories are drying up as the summer driving season approaches.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe bottom line is that U.S. inventory levels remain above estimated minimum operating thresholds,\u201d said S&P Global Energy\u2019s Aaron Brady. \u201cHowever, with continued disruption to Middle East flows, draws are likely to extend into the third quarter, even in the event of a near-term diplomatic resolution.\u201d More big, sustained drops in inventories \u201dwould likely signal entry into a \u2018danger zone\u2019 for the U.S. refining system.\u201d<\/p>\n
