PRODUCER PRICE INDEXES

USDL-13-1837

AUGUST 2013

The Producer Price Index for finished goods rose 0.3 percent in August, seasonally adjusted, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Prices for finished g oods were unchanged in July and  increased 0.8 percent in June. At the earlier stages of processing, prices received by producers of  intermediate goods were unchanged in August, and the crude goods index fell 2.7 percent. On an unadjusted basis, prices for finished goods moved up 1.4 percent for the 12 months ended in August, the smallest advance since a 0.5-percent rise in April 2013. (See table A.)

Stage-of-Processing Stage-of-Processing Analysis Finished goods

In August, nearly two-thirds of the 0.3-percent increase in the finished goods index is attributable to a 0.8-percent rise in prices for finished energy goods. Also contributing to the advance, the index for  finished consumer foods climbed 0.6 percent. Prices for finished goods less foods and energy were unchanged in August. Finished energy: The index for finished energy goods moved up 0.8 percent in August after declining 0.2 percent in the previous month. Most of the advance can be traced to gasoline prices, which climbed  2.6 percent. Higher prices for liquefied petroleum p etroleum gas and residential electric power also contributed to the rise in the index for finished energy goods. (See table 2.) Finished foods: Prices for finished consumer foods increased 0.6 percent in August following no change in July. Leading the advance, the index for fresh and dry vegetables surged 26.9 percent. Finished core: The index for finished goods less foods and energy was unchanged in August after nine consecutive increases. In August, higher prices for pet food and nonwood commercial furniture offset lower prices for motor vehicles. Intermediate goods

The Producer Price Index for intermediate materials, supplies, and components was unchanged in both August and July. In August, a 0.6-percent increase in prices for intermediate energy goods and a 0.2 percent rise in the index for intermediate materials less foods foods and energy offset a 2.3-percent decline in  prices for intermediate foods and feeds. (See table B.) Intermediate energy: The index for intermediate energy goods rose 0.6 percent in August, the fourth consecutive increase. A major factor in the August advance was jet fuel prices, which climbed 4.5  percent. Increases in the indexes for gasoline and commercial electric power also contributed  significantly to higher intermediate energy goods prices. (See table 2.) Intermediate core: Prices for intermediate materials less foods and energy moved up 0.2 percent in August after a 0.3-percent decline a month earlier. Nearly eighty percent of the increase can be attributed to the index for primary basic organic chemicals, which rose 2.9 percent. Intermediate foods: Prices for intermediate foods and feeds fell 2.3 p ercent in August following three straight advances. Three-quarters of the decline can be traced to the index for prepared animal feeds, which dropped 7.0 percent. Lower prices for meats and for refined sugar and byproducts also were factors in the decrease in the intermediate foods and feeds index.

Crude goods

The Producer Price Index for crude materials for further processing declined 2.7 percent in August. For  the 3 months ended in August, crude goods prices moved down 1.4 percent subsequent to a 0.3-percent decrease for the 3 months ended in May. The broad-based monthly decline in August was led by the index for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs, which dropped 4.2 percent. Prices for crude energy e nergy materials and crude nonfood materials less energy fell 2.7 percent and 0.4 percent, respectively. (See table B.) Crude foods: The index for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs decreased 4.2 percent in August. From May to August, crude foods prices fell 5.5 percent compared with a 1.3-percent advance from February to May. In August, a major factor in the monthly decline was the index for soybeans, which dropped 17.8  percent. Lower prices for corn and slaughter chickens also contributed to the decrease in the crude foods index. (See table 2.) Crude energy: Prices for crude energy materials fell 2.7 pe rcent in August. For the 3 months ended in August, the crude energy materials index moved up 1.5 percent after rising 0.9 percent in the previous 3month period. Accounting for almost three-quarters of the monthly decline, natural gas prices fell 8.2  percent. The index for crude petroleum, which decreased 1.2 percent, also was a factor in lower prices for crude energy materials. Crude core: The index for crude nonfood materials less energy moved down 0.4 percent in August. From May to August, crude core prices declined 0.6 percent subsequent to a 3.7-percent drop for the 3 months ended in May. In August, the monthly decrease in the crude core index can be traced to corn  prices, which fell 15.2 percent.

Services Analysis Trade industries: The Producer Price Index for the net output of total trade industries moved up 0.8  percent in August following a 0.1-percent rise in July. (Trade indexes measure changes in margins received by wholesalers and retailers.) Leading the advance, margins received by wholesale trade industries rose 0.8 percent. Higher margins received by family clothing stores and discount department stores also contributed to the increase in the total trade industries index. Transportation and warehousing industries: The Producer Price Index for the net output of  transportation and warehousing industries moved up 0.6 percent in August after no change in July. Leading the increase, prices received by the scheduled passenger air transportation industry advanced  1.7 percent. Higher prices received for freight transportation arrangement and by the truck transportation industry group also were factors in the increase in the transportation and warehousing industries index. Services less trade, transportation, and warehousing: The Producer Price Index for the net output of  services less trade, transportation, and warehousing climbed 0.4 p ercent in August, the third consecutive consecu tive rise. Leading the August advance, prices received by the industry for commercial banking moved up 1.0  percent. Higher prices received by portfolio managers and wireless telecommunication carriers also contributed to the rise in the index for services less trade, transportation, and warehousing.  ____________  The Producer Price Index for September 2013 is scheduled to be released on Friday, October 11, 2013 at 8:30 a.m. (EDT).

Producer Price Index to Transition from Stage-of-Processing to Final DemandIntermediate Demand Aggregation System Effective with the January 2014 PPI data release in February 2014, BLS will transition from the Stage of  Processing (SOP) to the Final Demand-Intermediate Demand (FD-ID) aggregation system. This shift will result in significant changes to the PPI news release, as well as other documents available available from PPI. The transition to the FD-ID system is the culmination of a long-standing PPI objective to improve the current SOP aggregation system by incorporating PPIs for services, construction, government government purchases, and  exports. In comparison to the SOP system, the FD-ID system more than doubles current PPI coverage of the United States economy to over 75 percent of in-scope domestic production. The FD-ID system was introduced as a set of experimental indexes in January 2011. Nearly all new FD-ID goods, services, and  construction indexes provide historical data back to either November 2009 or April 2010, while the indexes for goods that correspond with the historical SOP indexes go back to the 1970s or earlier. The FD-ID system will highlight the index for final demand, which measures price changes for goods, services, and construction sold to final demand: personal consumption, capital investment, government  purchases, and exports. The The composition composition of products in the final final demand price price index differs from that that of the finished goods index in two major respects. First, it includes government government purchases and exports. Second, it includes services and construction, which are not reflected in finished goods. The FD-ID system also includes includes two separate parallel treatments treatments of intermediate demand: demand: price changes for  goods, services, and construction sold to business as inputs to production. The first treatment, intermediate demand by commodity type, measures price changes based on similarity of product and includes aggregate indexes for processed goods for intermediate intermediate demand, unprocessed goods for intermediate demand, demand, and  services for intermediate intermediate demand. The second treatment, intermediate demand by production flow, is a stage-based system of price indexes, where price changes for goods, services, and construction can be studied as they move through the  production chain chain of the economy economy to final demand. demand. This treatment includes includes four stages of intermediate intermediate demand, which were established to maximize forward flow of production through the economy, while minimizing backflow of production. These FD-ID indexes are constructed using PPI commodity indexes for goods, services, and construction, where products are assigned to various categories according to buyer type and level of fabrication. A product  purchased by different classes classes of buyers is assigned to multiple FD-ID FD-ID aggregates, with unique weights weights allocated to each aggregate based on the product’s value of shipments to each buyer type. To assist with the transition to the FD-ID system, PPI will provide, on a monthly basis, a version of the PPI news release based on the FD-ID model, starting with the publication of July 2013 data in August. The document will be labeled “Experimental” through the December release in January 2014 and will be posted  to the PPI Experimental Aggregation Aggregation webpage about two weeks after each month’s scheduled PPI release. That webpage, http://www.b http://www.bls.gov/ppi/ex ls.gov/ppi/experimentalagg perimentalaggregation.htm regation.htm,, also contains detailed methodological methodological information for the FD-ID aggregation system. With the publication of January 2014 data in February 2014, the FD-ID version of the PPI news release will become the official news release document of record. Further information also is available from the PPI Section of Index Analysis and Public information, at ppiat [email protected] or (202) 691-7705.

Techni Technical cal Note Brief Explanation of Produc er Price Indexes Indexes

Commodit y Indexes Indexes

The Producer Price Index (PPI) of the Bureau of  Labor Statistics (BLS) is a family of indexes that measure the average change over time in the prices received by domestic  producers of goods and services. PPIs measure price change from the perspective of the seller. This contrasts with other  measures, such such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI). CPIs measure price change from the purchaser’s perspective. Sellers’ and purchasers’ prices can differ due to government subsidies, sales and excise taxes, and distribution costs. More than 9,000 PPIs for individual products and  groups of products products are released each month. month. PPIs are are available for the products of virtually every industry in the mining and manufacturing sectors of the U.S. economy. New PPIs are gradually being introduced for the products of  industries in the construction, trade, finance, and services sectors of the economy. More than 100,000 price quotations per month are organized into three sets of PPIs: (1) Stage-of-processing Stage-of-processing indexes, (2) commodity indexes, and (3) indexes for the net output of industries and their products. The stage-of processing structure organizes products by class cl ass of o f buyer and  degree of fabrication. The commodity structure organizes  products by similarity of end use or material composition. The entire output of various industries is sampled to derive  price indexes for the net output of industries and their   products.

The commodity classification structure of the PPI organizes goods and services by similarity of material composition or end use, disregarding their industry of origin. Table 6 of the PPI Detailed Report  includes data for  commodity indexes, organized in a hierarchal structure, including major commodity groupings (two-digit commodity codes), subgroups (three-digit (three-digit codes), product classes (fourdigit codes), subproduct classes (five- and six-digit codes), item groupings (seven-digit codes) and individual items (eight-, nine-, and ten-digit codes).

Industry Net-Output Price Indexes PPIs for the net output of industries and their   products are grouped according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Prior to the release of January 2004, industry-based PPIs were published  according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. Industry price indexes are compatible with other  economic time series organized by industry, such as data on employment, wages, and productivity. productivity. Table 5 of the PPI   Detailed Report  includes data for NAICS industries and  industry groups (3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-digit codes), Census product classes (7- and 8-digit codes), products (9-digit codes), and  more detailed subproducts (11-digit codes), and, for some industries, indexes for other sources of revenue. Indexes may represent one of three kinds of product categories. Every industry has primary product indexes to show changes in prices received by establishments classified  in the industry for products made primarily, but not necessarily exclusively, by that industry. The industry classification of an establishment is determined by which  products make up a plurality of its total shipment value. In addition, most industries have secondary product indexes that show changes in prices received by establishments classified  in the industry for products chiefly made in some other  industry. Finally, some industries have miscellaneous receipts indexes to show price changes in other sources of revenue received by establishments within the industry that are not derived from sales of their products—for example, resales of   purchased materials, or revenues from parking lots owned by a manufacturing plant.

Stage-of-Processing Indexes Within the stage-of-processing system, finished  goods are commodities that will not undergo further   processing and are ready for sale to the final-demand user, either an individual consumer or business firm. Consumer  foods include unprocessed foods such as eggs and fresh vegetables, as well as processed foods such as bakery products and meats. Other finished consumer goods include durable goods such as automobiles, household furniture, and  appliances, as well as nondurable goods such as apparel and  home heating oil. Capital equipment includes durable goods such as heavy motor trucks, tractors, and machine tools. The stage-of-processing category for intermediate materials, supplies, and components consists partly of  commodities that have been processed but require further   processing. Examples of such semifinished goods include flour, cotton yarn, steel mill products, and lumber. The intermediate goods category also encompasses nondurable,  physically complete items purchased by business firms as inputs for their operations. Examples include diesel fuel, belts and belting, paper boxes, and fertilizers. Crude materials for further processing are products entering the market for the first time that have not been manufactured or fabricated and that are not sold directly to consumers. Crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs include items such as grains and livestock. Examples of crude nonfood  nonfood  materials include raw cotton, crude petroleum, coal, hides and  skins, and iron and steel scrap.

Data Collection PPIs are based on selling prices reported by establishments of all sizes selected by probability sampling, with the probability of selection proportionate to size. Individual items and transaction terms from these firms also are chosen by probability proportionate to size. size. BLS strongly encourages cooperating companies to supply actual transaction prices at the time of shipment to minimize the use of list prices. Prices submitted by survey respondents are are effective on the Tuesday of the week containing the 13th day of the month. This survey is conducted conducted via mail, fax, and the Internet. 9

Price data are provided on a voluntary and  confidential basis; only sworn BLS employees are allowed  access to individual company company price reports. BLS publishes  price indexes instead of actual prices. All PPIs are subject to revision 4 months after original publication to reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents. BLS periodically updates the PPI sample of survey respondents to better reflect current conditions when the structure, membership, technology, or product mix of an industry shifts significantly and to spread reporting burden among smaller firms. Results of these resampling efforts are incorporated into the PPI with the release of data for January and July. As part of an ongoing effort to expand coverage to sectors of the economy other than mining and manufacturing, an increasing number of service sector industries have been introduced into the PPI. The following following list of industries introduced since the mid-1990s includes the month and year in which an article describing the industry’s content appeared in the PPI Detailed Report .

Weights Weights for most traditional commodity groupings of  the PPI, as well as weights for commodity-based aggregate indexes calculated using traditional commodity groupings, such as stage-of-processing indexes, currently reflect 2007 values of shipments as reported in the Census of Manufactures and other sources. From January 2007 through December  2011, PPI weights were derived from 2002 shipment values. Industry indexes now are calculated under the 2012 NAICS structure utilizing 2007 value of shipment weights and 2002 10

net output ratios. ratios. The periodic update of the value weights used to calculate the PPI is done to more accurately reflect changes in production and marketing patterns in the economy.  Net output values of shipments are used as weights for  industry indexes. Net output values refer refer to the value of  shipments from establishments within the industry to buyers outside the industry. However, weights for commodity price indexes are based on gross shipment values, including values of shipments between establishments within the same industry. As a result, broad commodity grouping indexes, such as the PPI for All Commodities (which is comprised of  major commodity groupings 01 through 15), are affected by the multiple counting of price change at successive stages of   processing, which can lead to exaggerated or misleading signals about inflation. Stage-of-processing indexes partially partially correct for this defect, but industry indexes consistently correct for this at all levels of aggregation. Therefore, industry and stage-of-processing indexes are more appropriate than broad commodity groupings for economic analysis of  general price trends.

Seasonally Seasonally Ad justed and Unadjusted Data Data Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, BLS publishes seasonally adjusted and  unadjusted changes each month. Seasonally adjusted data are  preferred for analyzing general price trends in the economy because these data eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at about the same time, and in about the same magnitude, every year—such as price movements resulting from normal weather patterns, regular production and marketing cycles, model changeovers, seasonal discounts, and holidays. For these reasons, reasons, seasonally adjusted adjusted data more clearly clearly reveal underlying cyclical trends. Unadjusted  data are of primary interest to users who need information that can be related to actual dollar values of transactions. Individuals requiring this information include marketing specialists, purchasing agents, budget and cost analysts, contract specialists, and commodity traders. It is the unadjusted data that are generally cited when escalating longterm contracts such as purchasing agreements or real estate leases. For more information, see Escalation and Producer  Price Indexes: A Guide for for Contracting Parties, BLS Report 807, September 1991, on the Web at www.bls.gov/ppi/ppiescalation.htm. In 1998, the PPI implemented the X-12-ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment Method; prior to that year, the PPI employed the X-11 method. Each year, the seasonal status of  most commodity indexes is reevaluated to reflect more recent  price behavior. Industry net output indexes are not seasonally adjusted. For time series that exhibit seasonal pricing patterns, new seasonal factors are estimated and applied to the unadjusted data for the previous 5 years. These updated  seasonally adjusted indexes replace the most recent 5 years of  seasonal data. Seasonal factors may be applied to series using either  a direct or an aggregative method. Generally, commodity indexes are seasonally adjusted using direct seasonal adjustment, which produces a more complete elimination of  seasonal movements than does the aggregative method. However, the direct seasonal adjustment process may not yield  figures that possess additive additive consistency. Thus, a seasonally adjusted index for a broad category that is directly adjusted  may not be logically consistent with all seasonally adjusted  indexes for its components. Seasonal movements for stage-of-

Price Index Reference Base Effective with w ith publication of January 1988 data, many important PPI series (including stage-of-processing groupings and most commodity groups and individual items) were placed on a new reference base, 1982 = 100. From 1971 through 1987, the standard reference base for most PPI series was 1967 = 100. Except for rounding differences, the shift to the new reference base did not alter any previously  published percent changes for affected PPI series. (See “Calculating Index Index Changes,” Changes,” below.) The 1982 reference  base is not used for commodity indexes with a base later than December 1981 or for industry net output indexes and their   products. For further information on the underlying concepts and methodology of the Producer Price Index, see chapter 14, “Producer Prices,” in the  BLS Handbook of Methods (July 2010). This chapter can be downloaded from the BLS Web site at www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch14.htm.

Calculating Index Changes Each PPI measures price changes from a reference  period that equals 100.0. An increase of 5.5 percent from the reference period in the Finished Goods Price Index, for  example, is shown as 105.5. This change also can be expressed in dollars, as follows: prices received by domestic  producers of a sample of finished goods have risen from $100 in 1982 to $105.50. Likewise, a current index of 90.0 would  indicate that prices received by producers of finished goods are 10 percent lower than they were in 1982. Movements of price indexes from one month to another are usually expressed as percent changes, rather than as changes in index points. Index point changes are affected   by the level of the index in relation to its base period, whereas  percent changes are not. The following example shows the computation of index point and percent changes.

 processing indexes are derived indirectly through an aggregative method that combines movements of a wide variety of subproduct class (six-digit) series. Seasonally adjusted indexes can become problematic when previously stable and predictable price patterns abruptly change. If the new pattern persists, the seasonal adjustment method will eventually reflect it adequately; if the pattern keeps shifting, however, seasonally adjusted data will become chronically troublesome. This problem occurs relatively infrequently for farm and food-related products, but has more often affected manufactured products such as automobiles and  steel. Since January 1988, the PPI has used Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment methods to enhance the calculation of seasonal factors. factors. With this technique, outlier  values that may distort the seasonal pattern are removed from the data prior to applying the standard seasonal factor  estimation procedure. For example, a possible economic cause for large price movements for petroleum-based products might have been the Persian Gulf War. In this case, intervention techniques allowed for better estimates of  seasonally adjusted data. On the whole, very few series have required intervention. Out of almost 300 seasonally adjusted  series, only 27 were subject to intervention in 2009. For more information relating to seasonal adjustment methods, see (1) “Appendix A: Seasonal Adjustment Methodology at BLS,” in the BLS Handbook of Methods (July 2010) and (2) “Summary of Changes to the PPI’s Seasonal Adjustment Methodology” in the January 1995 issue of  Producer Price Indexes.

Producer Price Index Data on the Internet In 1995, the BLS began posting PPI series, news releases, and technical information to both a World Wide Web (WWW) site and a file transfer protocol (FTP) site. During the years following the introduction of PPI Internet services, use of these sites eclipsed more traditional methods of data dissemination, such as subscriptions to the PPI Detailed   Report . There were more than 2.1 million instances of PPI series being downloaded from the Internet during the 12 months ended December 31, 2008.

One-Screen Data Search and  Multi-Screen Data Search are form-based query applications for both Industry Data and Commodity Data designed for  users unfamiliar with the PPI coding structure. These applications guide a user through the PPI classification system by listing index titles and do not require knowledge of commodity or industry codes. Data retrieved are based on a query formulated by selecting data characteristics from lists provided. Two options are available to create customized  tables, depending on a user’s browser capability. The one-screen option is a JavaScript application that uses a single screen to guide a user through the available time series data. The second option is a multiplescreen, non-Java-based application. Both methods allow a user to browse the PPI coding structure and  select multiple series series codes. Users can can modify the date range and output options after executing the query using the reformat button above the data output table.

Series Report is a form-based application that uses formatted PPI time series identifiers (commodity or  industry codes) as input in extracting data according to a specified set of date ranges and output options. This application provides the most efficient path for  users who are familiar with the format of PPI time series identifiers. Up to 300 indexes indexes can be extracted  at a time. There are five alphabetic prefixes used to create unique PPI time series identifiers: WP, WD, PC, PD, and ND. Each provides the user access to a different PPI database. Adding either a “u” (not seasonally adjusted) or an “s” (seasonally adjusted) to the end of these prefixes further specifies the type of  data needed.
