US producer prices accelerated in August, in line with the average analyst estimate, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed.
The increase was driven in part by a 4.2% rise in energy prices, while services prices increased 0.1%. Diesel prices led the gains, rising 24.1%.
The data could add to inflationary pressures at the wholesale level and influence the Federal Reserve's interest-rate path.
