Description:
The Producer Price Index, which measures wholesale prices, rose 0.5% in April, more than the expected increase of 0.3%. Core PPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also increased by 0.5% compared to an estimated 0.2%. On a yearly basis, wholesale inflation rose over 2% in April, the biggest gain in a year. Services prices drove much of the wholesale inflation, and portfolio management costs increased sharply. Energy prices rose led by a jump in gasoline costs, while food prices declined. Hotter-than-expected inflation raises doubts about the Fed's ability to cut rates soon to achieve its 2% target.

_disney-dreamlight-valley-all-recipes-and-the-best-ones-to-cook.webp "Cooking in Disney Dreamlight Valley requires you to collect all sorts of different ingredients and combine them at a stove to create meals. Experimenting with different combinations can unlock recipes that you can then cook again and again. Once you’ve cooked a meal, you can eat to restore energy, give it to a villager to improve your Friendship Level, or sell it to Goofy for Star Coins.<br/><br/>Ingredients are scattered across Dreamlight Valley, although most are exclusive to a few biomes, so you’ll need to forage, harvest, and go fishing all over or seek out Goofy’s Stalls for seeds. More specialist ingredients, such as milk, butter, and eggs, can only be bought from the Chez Remy restaurant. You'll also need fuel for the stove so make sure you’re doing plenty of mining to gather coal too.<br/><br/>When you’re cooking you can throw up to five different things into the pot to create a dish, but the recipe that comes out at the end might not use all the ingredients. Recipes that do use all five ingredients are rated five stars and tend to be very valuable and restore a lot of Energy. But it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re the best dishes, particularly if those ingredients are hard to get. Keep an eye out for recipe books too, as reading them will instantly unlock a new recipe for you to try.")
