U.S. wholesale prices rose just 0.2% in October, a fourth straight soft reading that suggests inflation is on the wane after hitting a 40-year high earlier in the year.
Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had forecast a 0.4% gain. The smaller-than-expected increase gave a boost to U.S. stocks in premarket trades and sent interest rates on the 10-year Treasury lower.
