Colombia August PPI Slows to 0.76% YoY; Farm Prices Jump 6.8%

Colombia's August producer price inflation decelerated sharply to 0.76% year-on-year from 3.91%, signaling easing pipeline cost pressures. However, agricultural prices surged 6.8%, a notable divergence that could feed into consumer food inflation. The moderation suggests reduced upstream inflation, but the farm-sector spike introduces uncertainty for near-term CPI.
