Producer Price Indexes – June 2009
The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods rose 1.8 percent in June, seasonally adjusted, the Bureau
of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. This advance followed increases of 0.2
percent in May and 0.3 percent in April. At the earlier stages of processing, prices received by producers of
intermediate goods climbed 1.9 percent in June after moving up 0.3 percent in the preceding month, and the
crude goods index increased 4.6 percent following a 3.6-percent rise in May. (See table A.)
The June acceleration in finished goods prices was broad based. The index for energy goods jumped 6.6
percent after advancing 2.9 percent in the prior month, prices for consumer foods increased 1.1 percent
following a 1.6-percent drop in May, and the index for goods other than foods and energy rose 0.5 percent in
June after edging down 0.1 percent in the previous month.

From June 2008 to December 2008, finished goods prices fell 6.2 percent, seasonally adjusted. By
contrast, from December 2008 to June 2009, the finished goods index increased 2.1 percent. During the first 6
months of 2009, the finished goods index climbed at a 4.2-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) after
declining at a 12.1-percent SAAR during the second half of 2008. This upturn is attributable to prices for
finished energy goods, which increased at an 18.8-percent SAAR from December 2008 to June 2009 after
falling at a 52.9-percent SAAR in the 6 months ended December 2008. By contrast, the index for finished
goods other than foods and energy advanced at a 2.0-percent SAAR for the 6 months ended in June after rising
at a 4.7-percent SAAR during the prior 6-month period. Prices for finished consumer foods moved down at a
2.3-percent SAAR during the first half of 2009 after decreasing at a 1.8-percent SAAR during the second half of
2008. Earlier in the production chain, the intermediate goods index declined at a 1.6-percent SAAR from
December 2008 to June 2009 after falling at a 22.1-percent SAAR during the latter half of 2008, and prices for
crude goods increased at a 5.2-percent SAAR for the 6 months ended in June after dropping at a 66.0-percent
SAAR for the 6 months ended December 2008. (See summary table.)
Before seasonal adjustment, the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods rose 1.9 percent in June to
174.1 (1982 = 100). From June 2008 to June 2009, finished goods prices declined 4.6 percent. Over the same
period, the index for finished energy goods fell 25.2 percent and prices for finished consumer foods decreased
2.2 percent. By contrast, partially offsetting the overall decline in finished goods prices, the index for finished
goods other than foods and energy increased 3.3 percent for the 12 months ended in June. At the earlier stages
of processing, prices received by manufacturers of intermediate goods moved down 12.5 percent and the crude
goods index dropped 40.0 percent from June 2008 to June 2009.

Finished goods
The index for finished energy goods climbed 6.6 percent in June following a 2.9-percent advance in
May. Gasoline prices jumped 18.5 percent after rising 13.9 percent in the preceding month. The indexes for
home heating oil, liquefied petroleum gas, diesel fuel, and kerosene also advanced more in June than they had a
month earlier. Prices for residential natural gas turned up after falling in May. By contrast, the index for
residential electric power decreased 0.9 percent in June following a 0.3-percent decline in the prior month.
Prices for finished lubricants also fell more than they had in May. (See table 2.)
The index for finished consumer foods increased 1.1 percent in June after falling 1.6 percent in May.
More than half of this upturn can be traced to prices for fresh and dry vegetables, which surged 21.8 percent
following a 20.9-percent drop in the previous month. The indexes for eggs for fresh use; bottled carbonated soft
drinks; bakery products; and natural, processed, and imitation cheese also turned up in June. Prices for

percent after falling 1.3 percent in May. Prices for semifinished steel mill products, softwood lumber, synthetic
fibers, and titanium mill shapes also turned up in June. The index for copper and brass mill shapes rose more
than in the prior month, while prices for cold rolled steel sheet and strip decreased less than in May. By
contrast, the rise in the index for primary nonferrous metals slowed to 4.2 percent in June from 8.2 percent in
the previous month. Prices for aluminum mill shapes also rose less than they had in May. The index for
materials for durable manufacturing declined at a 17.4-percent SAAR in the 6 months ended June 2009 after
falling at a 31.0-percent SAAR in the second half of 2008.
Prices for materials and components for construction were unchanged after edging down 0.1 percent in
the prior month. In June, price increases for asphalt felts and coatings, ready-mixed concrete, nonferrous
metals, softwood lumber, and millwork were offset by falling prices for structural, architectural, and preengineered metal products; treated wood and contract wood preserving; non-farm prefabricated metal building
systems; paving mixtures and blocks; and unitary air conditioners. The index for materials and components for
construction decreased at a 5.4-percent SAAR in the first half of 2009 after moving up at a 1.5-percent SAAR
in the prior 6-month period.

The intermediate foods and feeds index advanced 1.3 percent for the second consecutive month. In
June, higher prices for prepared animal feeds, processed young chickens, flour and flour base mixes and
doughs, bulk fluid milk and cream, and bottled carbonated soft drinks outweighed lower prices for beef and
veal, shortening and cooking oils, and pork. The index for intermediate foods and feeds edged up at a 0.2percent SAAR for the 6 months ended June 2009 after decreasing at a 17.8-percent SAAR from June to
December 2008.
Crude goods
The Producer Price Index for Crude Materials for Further Processing increased 4.6 percent in June
compared with a 3.6-percent gain in May. Prices for crude energy materials advanced more than they had in the
previous month. By contrast, partially offsetting the acceleration in prices for crude goods, the index for crude
nonfood materials less energy increased less than in May, and prices for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs turned
down in June after rising a month earlier. (See table B.)
The index for crude energy materials rose 10.9 percent in June subsequent to a 5.3-percent advance in
the prior month. Leading this acceleration, prices for natural gas moved up 3.5 percent following a 5.7-percent
drop in May. In June, the increase in the crude petroleum index accelerated to 20.3 percent from 18.6 percent in
the preceding month. Conversely, coal prices advanced 1.7 percent compared with a 2.0-percent rise in May.

Producer Price Index data for July 2009 are scheduled to be released on Tuesday, August 18, 2009 at 8:30 a.m.
(EDT).

PPI Introduces Wherever Provided Services Indexes
Effective with the release of July 2009 data on August 18, 2009, the Producer Price Index (PPI) program
will begin publishing Wherever Provided (WEP) Services indexes. Similar to current PPI commodity indexes,
the new WEP service indexes are constructed with pricing information collected from PPI’s industry-based
survey, aggregated on a service-specific basis rather than by industry of origin. Therefore, the WEP services
indexes measure price changes for specific services, regardless of the type of companies providing the services.
Since the WEP services indexes are conceptually similar to traditional PPI commodity indexes, they will
be included in Table 6 of the PPI Detailed Report, with major WEP services grouping codes ranging from 30
through 80.
Since the WEP services indexes do not include data for physical products, they will not contribute to the
PPI’s current Stage-of-Processing structure.
Further information is available from the PPI Section of Index Analysis and Public Information, at ppiinfo@bls.gov or (202) 691-7705.

PPI Expands Commodity Code Detail
Effective with the release of July 2009 data on August 18, 2009, the Producer Price Index (PPI) program
will have the capability to publish commodity indexes at a greater level of detail than previously has been
available. As such, the July 2009 data release will include some newly introduced commodity indexes
associated with 9-digit or 10-digit commodity codes. (The maximum code length permitted for commodity
indexes will become 12 digits.) These indexes will be available in both the PPI Detailed Report and on the BLS
website at www.bls.gov/ppi, using the current commodity data retrieval tools.
Further information is available from the PPI Section of Index Analysis and Public Information, at ppiinfo@bls.gov or (202) 691-7705.

PPI Updates Industry Net Output Ratios
Effective with the release of August 2009 data on September 15, 2009, the Producer Price Index (PPI)
program will update the net output ratios used to calculate industry indexes based on the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS). With this update, net output ratios will be based on 2002 InputOutput Account data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Net
output ratios represent the proportion of an industry's or industry grouping’s output consumed outside its
respective area. Prior to this update, net output ratios for calculating NAICS-based PPIs reflected values from
BEA 1997 Input-Output Accounts. This update does not affect commodity-grouping indexes from the PPI.
Further information is available from the PPI Section of Index Analysis and Public Information, at ppiinfo@bls.gov or (202) 691-7705.

Upcoming Changes to the Producer Price Index News Release
Effective with the August 2009 Producer Price Index (PPI) News Release scheduled for September 15,
2009, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will introduce changes in the presentation of the text section of the release.
There will be no changes to the format and content of the tables. A sample of the revamped PPI News Release
will be posted on the BLS website on Friday August 14. For further information, please see
http://www.bls.gov/bls/changes_to_text_sections_of_nrs.htm.

Technical Note
Brief Explanation of Producer Price Indexes

Commodity 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 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 8,000 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 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
indexes, (2) commodity indexes, and (3) indexes for the net
output of industries and their products. The stage-ofprocessing structure organizes products by class of 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 products by similarity of end use or material
composition, disregarding industry of origin. Fifteen major
commodity groupings (two-digit commodity codes) make up
the All Commodities Index. Each major commodity grouping
includes (in descending order of aggregation) subgroups
(three-digit codes), product classes (four-digit codes),
subproduct classes (six-digit codes), item groupings (sevendigit codes) and individual items (eight-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. 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
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. 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
effective on the Tuesday of the week containing the 13th day
of the month. This survey is conducted primarily through the
mail.
9

Price data are provided on a voluntary and
confidential basis; only sworn BLS employees are allowed
access to individual 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 list of recently
introduced industries 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 2002
values of shipments as reported in the Census of Manufactures
and other sources. From January 2002 through December

10

2006, PPI weights were derived from 1997 shipment values.
Industry indexes now are calculated with 2002 weights and
1997 net output ratios. 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 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, 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 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 Adjusted and Unadjusted 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, 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 when escalating longterm contracts such as purchasing agreements or real estate
leases. For more information, see Escalation and Producer
Price Indexes: A Guide for Contracting Parties, BLS Report
807,
September
1991,
on
the
Web
at
www.bls.gov/ppi/ppiescalation.htm. Reprints are available
on request.
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 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-ofprocessing indexes are derived indirectly through an
aggregative method that combines movements of a wide
variety of subproduct class (six-digit) series.

Price Index Reference Base
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 previously
published percent changes for affected PPI series. (See
“Calculating Index 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 BLS Handbook of Methods (April
1997), Bulletin 2490. This document can be downloaded from
the
BLS
Web
site
at
www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch14_itc.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.
11

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. 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 nearly 800 seasonally adjusted
series, only 16 were subject to intervention in 2008.
For more information relating to seasonal adjustment
methods, 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.

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 codes. Using the one-screen
option, users can modify the date range and output
options after executing the query using the reformat
button above the data output table.

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, 2007.

EXAMPLES
For commodity and stage-of-processing indexes,
series identifiers combine a “wpu” prefix (not
seasonally adjusted) or a “wps” prefix (seasonally
adjusted) with a commodity code.

Retrieving PPI data from the PPI Web site
PPI data can be obtained from the WWW address
(www.bls.gov/ppi). Clicking on the “PPI Databases” link
reveals the following methods of data retrieval:
•

•

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 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.

Top Picks is a form-based application for both
Industry Data and Commodity Data that allows the
user to quickly obtain PPI time series data by
selecting the most commonly requested time series,
including the All Commodities Index and the stageof-processing indexes (for example, Finished Goods).
Within each list, any one—or all—of the time series
shown can be selected. A user can modify the date
range and output options after executing the query,
using the reformat button above the data output table.

1 Indexes in this table are derived from the net-output-weighted industry price indexes. Because of differences in coverage and aggregation methodology, they will generally not match the
movements of similarly titled indexes which are derived from traditional commodity groupings.
2 The indexes for February 2009 have been recalculated to incorporate late reports and corrections by respondents. All indexes are subject to revision 4 months after original publication.

NOTE: NAICS replaced the SIC system beginning with the release of PPI data for January 2004.
