More signs that inflation has not peaked: the Producer Price Index is up to 11 percent.
That is a half point increase from March. Construction led the way with a four percent increase.

The PPI measures the increase in cost for wholesale items. It is a leading indicator of inflation because it measures prices before they are passed along to consumers.
