Energy prices advanced 4.5 percent annually during the month, while consumer goods prices moved up 3.4 percent. There was a 0.6 percent year-on-year increase in intermediate goods prices.
Month-on-month, the producer price index moved up 0.2 percent in April, following the previous month's 0.6 percent growth. Economists were looking for a 0.3 percent monthly gain.
