In February 2026, U.S. wholesale prices increased by 3.4% year-over-year, driven by a sharp rise in food costs, including a 49% surge in vegetable prices and a 10% increase in fruit prices.

February 2026 saw a significant increase in wholesale prices, marked by a 0.7% rise in the Producer Price Index (PPI), the largest monthly gain since July 2025, signaling mounting inflationary pressures in the U.S. economy.
