PRODUCER PRICE INDEXES -- JUNE 1995
The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods inched down 0.1 percent in
June, seasonally adjusted, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. S.
Department of Labor reported today. This followed no change in May and a
0.5 percent increase in April. Prices received by domestic producers of
intermediate goods were up 0.1 percent after moving up 0.2 percent in the
previous month. The Crude Goods Price Index turned up 0.7 percent after
falling 0.8 percent in May. (See table A.)
Among finished goods in June, declines for energy (-1.0 percent) and
foods (-0.3 percent) outweighed an increase of 0.2 percent in finished
goods other than food and energy. Prices for capital goods edged up 0.2
percent, partly reflecting continued increases for heavy motor trucks.
Prices also increased from May to June for consumer durables, such as
mobile homes and passenger cars, but decreased for consumer nondurables,
such as women's apparel.

reported because indexes for February 1995 have been recalculated to
incorporate late reports and corrections
by respondents. All indexes are subject to revision four months after
original publication.
During the first 6 months of 1995, the Finished Goods Price Index rose
at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 2.1 percent, the same as in the
last 6 months of 1994. These prices increased at a 1.5 percent annual rate
in the first half of 1994. During the first half of 1995, price increases
accelerated for the energy and nonfood components; however, food prices
turned down after rising in the previous 6 months. The index for energy
goods advanced at a 6.6 percent annual rate from December 1994 to June 1995
after increasing at a 1.6 percent annual rate in the second half of 1994.
Prices for finished goods other than foods and energy moved up at a 2.9
percent annual rate in the first half of 1995 after rising at a 1.0 percent
annual rate in the previous 6 months; much of this acceleration was due to
the index for motor vehicles. Consumer foods, however, turned down at a
rate of 3.1 percent during the first 6 months of 1995 after increasing at a
rate of 5.5 percent in the second half of 1994. The Intermediate Goods
Price Index advanced at a rate of 6.9 percent after rising at a rate of 6.2
percent in the last half of 1994. The Crude Goods Price Index turned up at
a rate of 5.2 percent from December 1994 to June 1995 after falling at a
4.6 percent annual rate over the last 6 months of 1994.
Before seasonal adjustment, the Producer Price Index for Finished

Goods increased 0.2 percent in June to 128.2 (1982 =100). From June 1994
to June 1995, the Finished Goods Price Index rose 2.1 percent. During this
same period, consumer food prices increased 1.2 percent, prices for
finished energy goods advanced 4.1 percent, and prices for finished goods
other than foods and energy were up 2.0 percent. Prices received by
domestic producers of intermediate goods increased 6.5 percent during the
12 months ended in June 1995, and crude material prices moved up 0.2
percent over the same period.

Finished goods
Prices for finished consumer foods declined 0.3 percent in June, after
decreasing 0.6 percent in May. Prices turned up in June after falling a
month earlier for beef and veal, eggs for fresh use, young chickens, pork,
and roasted coffee. Price declines slowed for finfish and shellfish, dairy
products, and for shortening and cooking oils. Prices for milled rice rose
more rapidly in June (12.3 percent) than in May (3.0 percent). By
contrast, prices for fresh fruits and melons fell 13.5 percent after
skyrocketing almost 30 percent in the previous month. Prices continued to
fall sharply for fresh and dry vegetables. Pasta prices turned down in
June after rising in May. Price increases slowed for bakery products,
processed fruits and vegetables, and processed turkeys.
The Producer Price Index for finished energy goods fell 1.0 percent in
June, following a 0.2 percent decrease in May. Gasoline prices turned down
3.1 percent after increasing 2.0 percent in the previous month, and prices
for home heating oil declined 5.8 percent after advancing 9.3 percent in

month earlier. Prices for residential electricity turned up in June after
falling in May.
The index for consumer goods other than foods and energy moved up 0.2
percent in June, after increasing 0.4 percent in May. From December 1994
to June 1995, this index rose at a 3.0 percent seasonally adjusted annual
rate, compared with a rise at a 1.2 percent rate in the latter half of
1994. In June, the tobacco products index was unchanged after rising 2.2
percent in the previous month. Prices turned down after increasing a month
earlier for household appliances, cosmetics, and floor coverings. The
index for women's apparel fell more in June than in the previous month.
Prices rose less in June than in May for household furniture, girls'
apparel, periodicals, and leather footwear. By contrast, prices turned up
after decreasing in May for passenger cars, prescription drugs, and for
tires and tubes. Prices for textile housefurnishings were unchanged in
June after falling a month earlier. The index for mobile homes rose more
rapidly in June than in May. Prices for sanitary papers and health
products increased 2.0 percent for the second consecutive month.
In June, the capital equipment index increased 0.2 percent, the same
as in May. This index rose at a 2.7 percent annual rate in the first half
of 1995, compared with a 0.9 percent rate of advance in the last half of
1994. In June, increases were registered for paper industries machinery
(3.2 percent), transformers and power regulators (1.3 percent), and heavy
motor trucks (1.2 percent). However, prices declined for electronic

computers and x-ray equipment.
Intermediate goods
The Producer Price Index for Intermediate Materials, Supplies, and
Components increased 0.1 percent, seasonally adjusted, in June after rising
0.2 percent in May. Excluding food and energy prices, this index increased
0.2 percent, the same as a month earlier. Price increases for nondurable
manufacturing materials, foods and feeds, and containers outweighed
declines for energy goods, durable manufacturing materials, and
construction materials. (See table B.)
The index for nondurable manufacturing materials increased 0.7 percent
in June after rising 0.6 percent a month earlier. This index advanced at a
17.6 percent annual rate in the first half of 1995 after climbing at a 17.1
percent rate in the final half of 1994. In June, price rises for woodpulp,
paper, nitrogenates, and inedible fats and oils more than offset declines
for primary basic organic chemicals, phosphates, leather, and for alkalies
and chlorine.
Prices for intermediate foods and feeds increased 1.0 percent after
declining the same amount in the previous month. This index fell at a 0.7
percent annual rate during the first 6 months of 1995 after declining at a
5.8 percent rate from June to December 1994. In June, the index for
prepared animal feeds turned up 1.0 percent after falling 1.4 percent in
the previous month. Prices for beef and veal, crude vegetable oils,
natural and processed cheese, and pork also rose after declining in May.
The flour index rose more than a month earlier. By contrast, the index for
fluid milk products declined 2.8 percent after decreasing 0.3 percent in
the previous month. Prices for confectionery materials turned down after
rising a month earlier.
The index for containers rose 1.1 percent in June after increasing 1.4
percent a month earlier. Prices for this category increased at a 20.8
percent annual rate during the first 6 months of 1995 after rising at a
14.7 percent rate during the last 6 months of 1994. The June deceleration
was mainly the result of smaller price increases for paper boxes and
containers.
The index for intermediate energy goods turned down 1.3 percent in
June after rising in each of the last 7 months. From December 1994 to June
1995, this index advanced at a 5.8 percent annual rate after climbing at a
2.4 percent rate in the latter half of 1994. In June, the index for
industrial electric power turned down 2.0 percent after rising 1.3 percent
a month earlier. Prices for gasoline, diesel fuel, commercial electric

power, jet fuels, and liquefied petroleum gas also fell after increasing in
the previous month. By contrast, the commercial natural gas index turned
up 0.4 percent after falling 4.0 percent a month earlier. Prices for
natural gas to electric utilities fell less than in the previous month, and
the residual fuel index rose more than in May.
Prices for durable manufacturing materials fell 0.2 percent, the same
as in May. This index advanced at a 6.3 percent annual rate during the
first 6 months of 1995 following a 12.8 percent rate of advance in the
second half of 1994. In June, price decreases for flat glass, plywood,
building paper and board, and silver outweighed advances for copper and
brass mill shapes, hot rolled steel sheet and strip, copper, and aluminum.
The index for construction materials declined 0.1 percent in June
after remaining unchanged a month earlier. From December 1994 to June
1995, this index moved up at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.3
percent following a 5.1 percent rate of increase in the second half of
1994. In June, prices declined for plywood, softwood lumber, gypsum
products, and for asphalt felts and coatings. By contrast, prices
increased for millwork, nonferrous wire and cable, heating equipment, and
cement.
Crude goods
In June, the Producer Price Index for Crude Materials for Further
Processing rose 0.7 percent, seasonally adjusted, after falling 0.8 percent
during the prior month. The index for both basic industrial materials and
crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs increased in June following decreases in
May. Conversely, the crude energy index declined after rising in May.
(See table B.)
The index for crude nonfood materials less energy turned up 0.6
percent in June, after falling 0.3 percent in May. This index advanced at
a 12.7 percent seasonally adjusted annual rate for the first half of 1995,
about half the 24 percent rate of increase for the final 6 months of 1994.
The June upturn was largely due to price increases for raw cotton, copper
base scrap, and iron and steel scrap, all of which declined in May. In
addition, prices increased after showing no change for hardwood logs,
bolts, and timber. By contrast, the indexes for both cattle hides and
wastepaper turned down over 5 percent in June, following price increases in
the previous month. Price declines slowed for softwood logs, bolts, and
timber and aluminum base scrap.
After three consecutive months of price declines, the crude foodstuffs
and feedstuffs index turned up 4.0 percent in June. This index declined at

a 2.5 percent seasonally adjusted annual rate for the first 6 months of
1995, following a 7.6 percent rate of decline in the latter half of 1994.
The June increase resulted from an upturn in prices for slaughter cattle
(5.1 percent), slaughter broilers (19.8 percent), and slaughter hogs (13.4
percent), all of which fell sharply in May. Prices also rose after falling
for soybeans, unprocessed finfish, and slaughter turkeys. Price increases
accelerated for corn, wheat, and raw cane sugar. Prices for fluid milk
fell less than in May. Conversely, the index for fresh fruits and melons
fell considerably after a large increase during the previous month.
The crude energy goods index dropped 2.7 percent in June after rising
for two consecutive months. This index increased at a 9.2 percent
seasonally adjusted annual rate for the first 6 months of 1995, compared
with a 16.9 percent rate of decline for the final half of 1994. Indexes
for both crude petroleum and natural gas moved down following increases in
April and May. Prices declines for coal slowed from 2.3 percent in May to
1.2 percent in June.
Net output price indexes for mining, manufacturing, and other industries
Mining. The Producer Price Index for the net output of total domestic
mining industries turned down 2.3 percent in June after increasing 1.1
percent in May. (Net output price indexes are not seasonally adjusted.)
During the first half of 1995, this index rose at an annual rate of 1.7
percent after falling at a 7.6 percent rate in the last half of 1994. In
June, prices for the oil and gas extraction industry group index fell 2.9
percent after rising 2.6 percent in May. The index for bituminous and
lignite mining fell less than in May. However, the indexes for the
industry groups for metal mining and anthracite mining turned up after
decreasing in the previous month.
Manufacturing. The Producer Price Index for total domestic manufacturing
industries was unchanged in June after moving up 0.4 percent in May. From
December 1994 to June 1995, this index increased at an annual rate of 4.7
percent after increasing at a 2.2 percent rate in the latter half of 1994.
In June, prices for tobacco manufactures showed no change, following a rise
of 2.4 percent a month earlier. Prices turned down in June after
increasing in May for the industry groups for textile mill products,
chemicals and allied products, petroleum refining, and electrical
machinery. Prices for the lumber and wood products industry group index
continued their 3-month slide, falling more in June (-1.0 percent) than in
both previous months. By contrast,
prices for the paper and allied products industry group continued their
upward trend of several months, rising 1.8 percent in June after increasing
1.3 percent in May. Prices for the industry group for measuring

instruments turned up after inching down a month earlier. The index for
rubber and plastic products increased much more in June than in May.
Prices for the nonelectrical machinery industry group increased 0.3 percent
after showing no change in the previous month. Prices continued to rise moderately for
the industry group for furniture and fixtures.
Other. Among other industries, prices turned down after rising in the
previous month for wastepaper collection, deep sea foreign transportation
of freight, refined petroleum pipelines, travel agencies, and radio
broadcasting. Prices for passenger car rental and employment agencies fell
more in June than in May. Price increases slowed from May to June for
scheduled air passenger transportation.
By contrast, price indexes turned up after falling in May for
nonferrous metal scrap collection, hotels and motels, truck rental and
leasing, psychiatric hospitals, and for water transportation of freight,
n.e.c. Price increases accelerated for electric power utilities, skilled
and intermediate health care facilities, and deep sea domestic
transportation of freight. Prices for scheduled air cargo transportation
rose 2.3 percent for the second consecutive month.

Comprehensive relative importance figures are initially computed
after the publication of December indexes and are recalculated
after final December indexes are available. The first-published
and final December relative importances initially appear,
respectively, in the release tables containing January and May data.
The indexes for Feb. 1995 have been recalculated to incorporate
late reports and corrections by respondents. All indexes
are subject to revision four months after original publication.
