The inflation that fades and that persists

Industrial companies may be reducing their profit margins due to rising energy costs. The PMI indicator for industrial costs has increased significantly since last year, reaching a maximum of 71 in September. However, the prices received by industry have risen at a slower pace, to 57, indicating a partial transfer of production costs to sales prices. The ratio of excess over sales for manufacturing is also lower than the average for the overall economy, according to the Observatorio de Márgenes.
