WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. wholesale prices rose in December for the first time in three months, largely reflecting higher costs of gasoline and tobacco. The producer price index increased 0.4%, marking the biggest gain since June, the Labor Department said Wednesday. Excluding the volatile categories of food and energy, core wholesale prices rose 0.3%. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had predicted a 0.4% increase in the overall PPI and a 0.1% rise in the core rate. Energy prices jumped 1.6%, while the wholesale cost of food fell 0.6%. For the full year, wholesale prices advanced just 1.2% in a clear sign that inflationary pressure in the U.S. economy remains muted. The core index has risen 1.4% in the past 12 months
