THE WEEK'S HIGHLIGHTS:
✓'

Consumer prices increased at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of
3.6 percent in May. This compares with a 2.7 percent rate of in­
crease in April and 5 percent over the past year. The May accel­
eration reflected increases in the price of energy goods, which rose
at an 18.1 percent rate after falling for five consecutive months.
Excluding food and energy goods, the May rate ofprice increase
was 2.6 percent—the same as in April.
Industrial production rose at an annual rate of 5.8 percent in May.
This was the second consecutive increase, after six straight months
of decline. The rate of increase in April was 3.5 percent. The April
and May production increases both reflected sharp increases in the
output of motor vehicles and parts.

y/

After seasonal adjustment, 982,000 housing units were started in
May, a slight increase over April. The total number of units started
during the first five months of 1991 was 28 percent lower than
during the same period last year.
