BBC News - US producer prices rise more than expected - 15:28 GMT, Tuesday, 15 December 2009
The Labor Department's Producer Price Index increased 1.8% from October, on a seasonally adjusted basis, the biggest rise in three months.
The cost of petrol increased by 14% on the back of higher crude oil prices.
The data will increase inflation concerns, but US interest rates are expected to remain on hold this week.
Tip of the iceberg, or just a blip on the radar?
