The producer price index, a measure of prices received at the wholesale level, fell 0.5% in December. The inflation measure slipped by more than analysts expected, showing that prices are decreasing amid the Federal Reserve’s rate hikes. A 1.6% decline in prices for final demand goods weighed down the total index, according to the Wednesday report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. On the flip side, the index for final demand services rose 0.1%. Economists expected that the index would rise 0.1% on the month and be 5.5% higher on the year, signaling a slowdown in price increases.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note tumbled below 3.40% after December’s producer price index showed a larger-than-expected decline in wholesale prices.
