If owner equivalent rent is moving lower (which it was in October), and if prior inflation was caused by supply chain tightness or higher input costs, than a lower PPI could indicate that supply chain tightness has eased, and goods inflation will head lower or stabilize.
It's also worth noting that CPI moves slower than PPI because rents make a pretty big percentage of CPI, and rents move slower than PPI due to how the BLS measures them. It is _a_ leading indicator, but not the _sole_ leading indicator.
