I think the complaint is that the “biggest annual rise” part gets lost/diluted; it is in there but much of the messaging sounds like prices just shot up this month instead of this being a YoY observation. I.e. coverage doesn’t emphasize or analyze that it’s a 12-month trailing average. (And, it could even be going down MoM and still give you a YoY increase if lots of increase happened 6mo ago; that might be the opposite valence of news.) WSJ probably being one of the more technical papers so that’s a best-case version there.
