THERE'S A NAME FOR THAT:

Core Wholesale Inflation Declines (TSC Staff, 11/15/2005, The Street)

The so-called core rate of producer-level inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, dropped 0.3% in October after an increase of 0.3% in September.

When a balloon leaks it isn't generally referred to as inflating.
