Fast-rising oil prices sent US businesses’ costs higher in March, lifting wholesale inflation to 4%, the highest annual rate in three years, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Tuesday.

The Producer Price Index, which measures the average change in prices received by producers of goods and services, rose 0.5% from February, the same pace seen the month before.

... and then how these were less than expected ...

The PPI report comes just days after the Consumer Price Index showed Americans are already paying significantly more for a range of goods.

PPI serves as a potential bellwether for what consumers could experience in the months to come.
