(EST), THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2003 Producer Price Indexes -- January 2003 The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods rose 1.6 percent in January, seasonally adjusted, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. This increase followed a 0.1percent decrease in December and a 0.3-percent decline in November. At the earlier stages of processing, prices received by intermediate goods manufacturers rose 1.3 percent in January, following a 0.2-percent decline in the prior month. The crude goods index increased 6.9 percent, compared with a 2.2-percent gain in December. (See table A.) Table A.

All indexes are subject to revision 4 months after original publication. -2Among finished goods, the index for finished energy goods advanced 4.8 percent, following a 0.2percent increase in December. Excluding prices for energy goods, the finished goods index rose 1.1 percent in January. The index for finished goods other than foods and energy advanced 0.9 percent, after posting a 0.5percent decline in December. Excluding prices for passenger cars and light motor trucks, the index for finished goods other than foods and energy increased 0.3 percent in January. The finished consumer foods index increased 1.6 percent in January, after posting a 0.4-percent gain in the prior month. Before seasonal adjustment, the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods increased 1.5 percent to 141.2 (1982=100). From January 2002 to January 2003, prices for finished goods rose 2.8 percent. Much of this increase was due to a 17.0-percent jump in the index for finished energy goods. During the same period, prices for finished goods other than foods and energy rose 0.5 percent, and the index for finished consumer foods moved up 0.4 percent. At the earlier stages of processing, prices received by producers of intermediate goods increased 4.5 percent and the index for crude goods advanced 29.3 percent. Finished goods Prices for finished energy goods jumped 4.8 percent in January, following a 0.2-percent increase in December. Although prices for most finished energy goods added to this acceleration, the largest contributor was the gasoline index, which advanced 13.7 percent after registering a 1.2-percent decrease in December. Prices for residential natural gas also turned up in January. The indexes for home heating oil and liquefied petroleum gas rose at a faster pace in January than they did a month earlier. By contrast, the residential electric power index rose 0.1 percent in January, following a 0.3-percent gain in the prior month. Table B.

All indexes are subject to revision 4 months after original publication. -3The index for finished consumer goods other than foods and energy advanced 0.9 percent in January, following a 0.4-percent decline in December. Prices charged by manufacturers for passenger cars moved up 3.5 percent, after falling 2.1 percent in the previous month. For the 12 months ended in January 2003, passenger car prices declined 1.4 percent. Prices charged by manufacturers for light motor trucks increased 4.1 percent, compared with a 2.2-percent decrease in the prior month. From January 2002 to January 2003, prices for light motor trucks rose 0.7 percent. Prices for floor coverings and household appliances turned up in January. The indexes for pharmaceutical preparations and periodical circulation rose, after showing no change in December. On the other hand, prices for sporting and athletic goods fell 0.2 percent, compared with a 3.1-percent increase in the prior month.

The indexes for light motor trucks and passenger cars rose in January, after falling in the preceding month. Prices for commercial furniture and for communication and related equipment also turned up in January. The electronic computers index fell at a slower rate in January than it did in December. Alternatively, the x-ray and electromedical equipment index posted a 0.6-percent decline, after inching up 0.1 percent in December. Prices for both heavy motor trucks and industrial material handling equipment remained unchanged in January, following an increase in the prior month. Prices for finished consumer foods rose 1.6 percent in January, after posting a 0.4-percent gain in December. The fresh and dry vegetables index increased 18.2 percent in January, after moving down 5.0 percent in the prior month. Prices for finfish and shellfish, fresh fruits and melons, and pork also increased, after falling in December. By contrast, the dairy products index rose 0.4 percent in January, following a 1.4percent gain in the previous month. Prices for beef and veal also rose at a slower rate than they did in the prior month. The indexes for soft drinks and for shortening and cooking oils turned down in January. Intermediate goods The Producer Price Index for Intermediate Materials, Supplies, and Components advanced 1.3 percent in January, following a 0.2-percent decline in December. Most of this upturn can be traced to prices for intermediate energy goods and materials for nondurable manufacturing, which also posted gains after falling in the previous month. The indexes for materials and components for construction and materials for durable manufacturing increased, after showing no change in December. Prices for intermediate foods and feeds rose at a slightly quicker pace in January than they did in December. The index for intermediate goods other than foods and energy moved up at a 0.3-percent rate in January, following a 0.1-percent decrease in the prior month. (See table B.) Subsequent to a 1.0-percent drop in December, prices for intermediate energy goods advanced 6.1 percent in January. The gasoline index jumped 13.7 percent, after registering a 1.2-percent decline in the previous month. Prices for industrial natural gas, residual fuels, and natural gas to electric utilities also turned up in January. The indexes for diesel fuel and liquefied petroleum gas rose at a faster pace than they did in the preceding month. Prices for commercial natural gas increased in January, after showing no change a month earlier. -4The index for materials for nondurable manufacturing moved up 1.4 percent in January, compared with a 1.3-percent decrease in December. A significant portion of this upturn was due to the basic organic chemicals index, which advanced 5.2 percent in January following a 2.3-percent decline in the prior month. The indexes for finished fabrics, synthetic rubber, medicinal and botanical chemicals, and phosphates also rose in January, after falling a month earlier. Nitrogenate prices increased at a faster rate than they did in the preceding month, while the index for paperboard decreased more slowly than it did in December. Conversely, paper prices declined 0.4 percent in January, after edging down 0.1 percent in December. The index for gray fabrics also fell more quickly than it did in December. Prices for basic inorganic chemicals and for processed yarns and threads turned down in January, following December increases. The index for materials and components for construction advanced 0.3 percent in January, after showing no change in December. Prices for plastic construction products jumped 2.6 percent, following a 0.3-percent increase in the prior month. The index for heating equipment also rose more quickly in January than in December. Prices for fabricated structural metal products and for air conditioning and refrigeration equipment moved up, after showing no change in December. The January indexes for wiring devices, mineral wool for structural insulation, and paving mixtures and blocks turned up, after falling a month earlier. On the other hand, the softwood lumber index declined 1.9 percent in January, compared with a 0.5-percent decrease in December. Prices for gypsum products and nonferrous wire and cable also fell more quickly in January than they did in the preceding month. The indexes for treated wood, plumbing fixtures and brass fittings, and architectural coatings moved down, after rising in the previous month. The index for materials for durable manufacturing, which was unchanged for December, edged up 0.1 percent in January. Price increases for cold rolled steel sheet and strip; hot rolled steel bars, plates, and structural shapes; precious metals; copper cathode and refined copper; copper and brass mill shapes; adhesives and sealants; and hardwood lumber slightly outweighed price decreases for hot rolled steel sheet and strip, aluminum mill shapes, semifinished steel mill products, primary aluminum (except extrusion billet), and prepared paint. The index for intermediate foods and feeds advanced at about the same rate in January as in the prior month -- 1.3 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively. In January, rising prices for beef and veal, prepared animal feeds, pork, processed young chickens, crude vegetable oils, and flour more than offset falling prices for dry milk products; shortening and cooking oils; natural, processed, and imitation cheese; and fluid milk products. Crude goods The Producer Price Index for Crude Materials for Further Processing advanced 6.9 percent in January, following a 2.2-percent gain in December. Prices for crude energy materials, crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs, and basic industrial materials also increased at a faster rate in January than in the prior month. (See table B.) The index for crude energy materials rose 11.0 percent in January, after increasing 3.6 percent in the previous month. Leading this acceleration, prices for crude petroleum jumped 20.4 percent, following a 6.6percent gain in December. The natural gas index moved up 8.2 percent, after rising 3.3 percent in the prior month. Prices for coal turned up 1.9 percent in January, following a 1.6-percent decline a month earlier. -5The index for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs moved up 5.4 percent in January, after rising 1.5 percent in the previous month. Slaughter cattle prices advanced 9.1 percent, following a 3.4-percent increase in December. The indexes for slaughter broilers and fryers and fluid milk also rose more in January than they did a month earlier. Prices for fresh vegetables (except potatoes), unprocessed finfish, and fresh fruits and melons turned up, after decreasing in the previous month. By contrast, the wheat index fell 8.3 percent in January, following a 4.3-percent decline in the prior month. Soybean prices also decreased at a faster pace than they did in December. The indexes for slaughter hogs and slaughter turkeys rose less than they did in the previous month. Prices for alfalfa hay and Irish potatoes for processing turned down in January, after increasing a month earlier. The index for crude nonfood materials less energy rose 1.0 percent in January, following a 0.5-percent increase in the prior month. Iron and steel scrap prices turned up 0.9 percent, after falling 1.2 percent in December. The phosphate index also advanced, following a decline in the previous month. Prices for gold ores increased at a faster rate in January than they did a month earlier. The iron ore index moved up, after showing no change in December. Partially counteracting these accelerating prices, the wastepaper index dropped 3.4 percent in January, after declining 0.7 percent a month earlier. Prices for construction sand, gravel, and crushed stone and for leaf tobacco turned down, following gains in December. The indexes for copper base scrap and raw cotton rose less than they did in the previous month. Net output price indexes for mining, manufacturing, and services industries Mining. The Producer Price Index for the Net Output of Total Mining Industries rose 9.2 percent in January, following a 2.9-percent advance in December. (Net output price indexes are not seasonally adjusted.) The acceleration in mining sector prices can be traced to the index for the crude petroleum and natural gas industry, which moved up 18.8 percent in January, after advancing 0.8 percent in December. Prices received by the bituminous coal and lignite surface mining industry, the bituminous coal underground mining industry, and the oil and gas well drilling industry turned up in January. The industry index for gold ores rose at a quicker pace in January than it did a month earlier. Alternatively, the industry index for natural gas liquids and natural gas residue increased 3.2 percent, following a 9.7-percent jump in December. Prices received by the potash, soda, and borate minerals industry turned down in January. The industry index for crushed and broken limestone rose at a slower rate in January than it did in December. In January, the Producer Price Index for the Net Output of Total Mining Industries was 126.2 (December 1984=100), 54.1 percent above its year-ago level. Manufacturing. The Producer Price Index for the Net Output of Total Manufacturing Industries advanced 1.3 percent in January, following a 0.4-percent decline in December. Prices received by the petroleum refining and related products industry group increased 13.6 percent, after a 4.4-percent drop in the prior month. The industry group indexes for transportation equipment and for chemicals and allied products turned up in January. Prices for the printing, publishing, and allied industries group and the industry index for surgical, medical, and dental instruments and supplies rose at a faster pace in January than they did a month ago. On the other hand, prices received by the tobacco manufactures industry group edged down in January, after showing no change in December. The industry group index for leather and leather products turned down in January. In January, the Producer Price Index for the Net Output of Total Manufacturing Industries was 135.9 (December 1984=100), 3.2 percent above its year-ago level. Services. Among service industries, prices received by the industries for operators and lessors of nonresidential buildings; engineering design, analysis, and consulting services; courier services (except by air); legal services; and general medical and surgical hospitals increased in January. By contrast, the industry indexes for radio broadcasting, local trucking without storage, passenger car rental, telephone communications (except radiotelephone), and wireless telecommunications decreased in January. -6***** Producer Price Index data for February 2003 will be released on Friday, March 14, 2003, at 8:30 a.m. (EST). Recalculation of Seasonal Adjustment Factors Effective with this release, seasonal adjustment factors have been recalculated to reflect price-movement patterns during 2002 for stage-of-processing (SOP) and commodity-grouping indexes. This routine annual recalculation may affect previously published seasonally adjusted indexes and percent changes for January 1998 through December 2002. Revised seasonally adjusted data for this period, as well as seasonal factors for commodity indexes to be used through December 2003, were released February 18, 2003. To request this information, contact the Division of Industrial Prices and Price Indexes, Section of Index Analysis and Public Information at ppi-info@bls.gov or (202) 691-7705. The table below provides monthly seasonally adjusted percent changes for the three major SOP categories during 2002, based on former and recalculated seasonal factors.

The NAICS conversion involves major definitional changes to many of the currently published SIC-based indexes. After the conversion to NAICS, SIC-based indexes will no longer be produced or published. NAICS history will be available depending on the scope of the definitional changes between SIC and NAICS. For more information contact the Division of Industrial Prices and Price Indexes, Section of Index Analysis and Public Information at ppi-info@bls.gov or (202) 691-7705. -7Resampling of Industries Effective with this release, the Producer Price Index (PPI) includes data for 51 resampled industries. In addition, the sample for the computer manufacturing industry was expanded to include data for personal digital assistants. The Bureau of Labor Statistics periodically updates the sample of producers providing data for the PPI to reflect current conditions more accurately when the structure, membership, technology, or product mix of an industry shifts. The first results of this systematic process were published in July 1986. Subsequent efforts have been completed at 6-month intervals. Also with this release, PPIs for two service industries are introduced: Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 6282, Investment Advice, and SIC 6412*, Insurance Agencies and Brokerages. The index data for SIC 6282 have a start date of June 2002, while the index data for SIC 6412 have a start date of December 2002. The introduction of these industries is part of an ongoing effort to expand PPI coverage to sectors of the economy other than mining and manufacturing. For information on specific index additions, deletions, and recodes that are effective with this semiannual update, see the January 2003 issue of the PPI Detailed Report or contact the Division of Industrial Prices and Price Indexes, Section of Index Analysis and Public Information at ppi-info@BLS.gov or (202) 6917705.

Technical Note Brief Explanation of Producer Price Indexes The term Producer Price Index (PPI) refers to a family of indexes that measure the average change over time in the selling 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 as the Consumer Price Index (CPI); CPIs measure price change from the purchaser's perspective. Sellers' and purchasers' prices may differ due to government subsidies, sales and excise taxes, and distribution costs. More than 10,000 PPIs for individual products and groups of products are released each month. PPIs 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 transportation, utilities, trade, finance, and services sectors of the economy. More than 100,000 price quotations per month are organized into three sets of producer price indexes: (1) stage-of-processing indexes; (2) commodity indexes; and (3) indexes for the net output of industries and their products. The stage-of-processing structure (tables 1, 2, and 5) organizes products by class of buyer and degree of fabrication. The commodity structure (tables 2 and 3) 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 (table 4). 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; and nondurable goods such as apparel and home heating oil. Capital equipment includes producer 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 materials include raw cotton, crude petroleum, coal, hides and skins, and iron and steel scrap. Producer price indexes for the net output of industries and their products are grouped according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). Industry price indexes are compatible with other economic time series organized by SIC codes, such as data on employment, wages, and productivity. Table 4 lists indexes for the net output of major mining and manufacturing industry groups at the 2-digit level. Producer price indexes 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 are also chosen by probability proportionate to size. BLS strongly encourages cooperating companies to supply actual transaction prices at the time of shipment to minimize the use of list prices. Prices are normally reported by mail questionnaire for the Tuesday of the week containing the 13th. Price data are provided on a voluntary and confidential basis; no one but sworn BLS employees are allowed access to individual company price reports. The Bureau publishes price indexes instead of unit dollar prices. All producer price indexes are routinely subject to revision once, 4 months after original publication, to reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents. The 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 every 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 list of recently introduced service industries includes the month in which an article describing the industry's content appeared in the PPI Detailed Report: Industry Wireless Telecommunications……….…………………….

From January 1992 through December 1995, PPI weights were derived from 1987 shipment values. Industry indexes shown in table 4 are also now calculated with 1992 net output weights. This 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 to the value of shipments from establishments in one industry to establishments classified in another industry. However, weights for commodity price indexes are based on gross shipment values, including shipment values between establishments within the same industry. As a result, broad commodity grouping indexes such as the all commodities index 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 correct this defect, but industry indexes consistently correct for this at all levels of aggregation. Therefore, industry and stage-ofprocessing indexes are more appropriate than broad commodity groupings for economic analysis of general price trends. Effective with 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 changes to previously published percent changes for affected PPI series. (See "Calculating Index Changes," below.) The new reference base is not used for indexes with a base later than December 1981, nor for indexes for the net output of industries and their products. For further information on the underlying concepts and methodology of the Producer Price Index, see chapter 14, "Producer Prices," in BLS Handbook of Methods (April 1997), Bulletin 2490. Reprints are available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics on request. Calculating Index Changes Each index measures price changes from a reference period which equals 100.0 (1982 or some later month). 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 can also be expressed in dollars as follows: "Prices received by domestic producers of a systematic sample of finished goods have risen from $100 in 1982 to $105.50 today." Likewise, a current index of 90.0 would indicate that prices received by producers of finished goods today 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 because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period, whereas percent changes are not. The example below shows the computation of index point and percent changes. Index point change Finished Goods Price Index Less previous index Equals index point change 107.5 104.0 3.5 Index percent change Index point change Divided by the previous index Equals Result multiplied by 100 Equals percent change 3.5 104.0 0.034 0.034 x 100 3.4 Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted and unadjusted changes each month. Seasonally adjusted data are preferred for analyzing general price trends in the economy because they 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, seasonally adjusted data more 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 in escalating long-term contracts such as purchasing agreements or real estate leases. (See Escalation and Producer Price Indexes: A Guide for Contracting Parties, BLS Report 807, September 1991, available on request from BLS.) For more information, see (1) "Appendix A: Seasonal Adjustment Methodology at BLS," in the BLS Handbook of Methods (April 1997), Bulletin 2490 and (2) "Summary of Changes to the PPI's Seasonal Adjustment Methodology" in the January 1995 issue of Producer Price Indexes.
