Why the market watches it
Wholesale prices tend to pass through to consumer prices with a lag, so a steep PPI is read as upward pressure on future CPI. It is usually released around the same time as CPI.
How traders read it
PPI is read as a leading indicator for CPI. That said, CPI generally carries the larger market impact.
