US producer prices unchanged with wholesale inflation remaining under control
US wholesale inflation cooled last month, despite worries that President Donald Trump's tariffs would push prices higher for goods before they reach consumers. The Labor Department reported Wednesday that its producer price index - which tracks inflation before it hits consumers - was unchanged last month from May and up 2.3% from a year earlier. Both measures came in below what economists had expected.

The report on wholesale inflation came a day after the Labor Department reported that consumer prices last month rose 2.7% from June 2024, the biggest year-over-year gain since February, as Trump's sweeping tariffs pushed up the cost of everything from groceries to appliances. Wholesale prices can offer an early look at where consumer inflation might be headed. Economists also watch it because some of its components, notably measures of health care and financial services, flow into the Federal Reserve 's preferred inflation gauge - the personal consumption expenditures, or PCE, index. Live Events Inflation began to flare up for the first time in decades in 2021, as the economy roared back with unexpected strength from COVID-19 lockdowns. That prompted the Fed to raise its benchmark interest rate 11 times in 2022 and 2023. The higher borrowing costs helped bring inflation down from the peaks it reached in 2022, and last year the Fed felt comfortable enough with the progress to cut rates three times. But it has turned cautious this year while it waits to see the inflationary impact of Trump's trade policies. Trump has aggressively stepped up pressure on the Fed to cut rates, a move that threatens the central bank's independence. Economic Times WhatsApp channel )

Over 25 categories of uncertified goods seized in BIS raid on e-commerce firms
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) on Tuesday said it had seized a large consignment of uncertified consumer products from e-commerce platforms Flipkart , E-Kart , and Meesho in Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh, emphasising that several platforms are "facilitating the sale and distribution of hazardous goods". The BIS is conducting a nationwide enforcement campaign to curb the sale of non-certified and unsafe products that violate provisions of the Quality Control Orders (QCOs). As part of this drive, the BIS Vijayawada branch carried out a raid on July 14 at Mustabad village in Gannavaram mandal, targeting the three platforms, an official press release said. "The BIS Vijayawada Branch Office conducted a major raid on prominent e-commerce platforms-Flipkart, E-Kart, and Meesho. During the operation, officials seized a large consignment comprising over 25 categories of consumer products," said Prem Sajani Patnala, Director & Head, BIS Vijayawada. The seized products included electronics, LED bulbs, toys, and table fans-all in violation of Section 17 of the BIS Act, 2016, Patnala said. Based on actionable intelligence and digital surveillance, it was found that several e-commerce platforms are enabling the sale of uncertified and potentially hazardous products, the release added. These items, lacking valid BIS certification , were being sold in violation of mandatory QCOs and relevant provisions of the BIS Act, posing serious risks to consumer health and safety , Patnala said. Section 17 of the BIS Act prohibits the sale, storage, or display of goods without the standard mark, while Section 29(3) provides for imprisonment of up to three years and fines up to Rs 10 lakh, or up to ten times the value of the seized goods. In applicable cases, violations under Section 79(2)(c) of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and Rule 3(b)(iv) & (v) of the IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, will also be invoked for failure to exercise due diligence by the platforms, Patnala added. With over 800 products falling under mandatory BIS certification, all such goods must bear standard marks-such as ISI, CRS, Hallmark, or relevant system marks-and be sold only by licensed entities. Manufacture, storage, or sale of uncertified goods is punishable under law. Patnala urged consumers to use the BIS Care app to verify certification details and report misuse of BIS marks, assuring that BIS will continue proactive enforcement and consumer outreach efforts.
