Prices for petroleum fell 1.0 percent last month after rising 9.4 percent in May, the largest monthly gain for the index since February 2003. Prices for petroleum imports were up 34.3 percent over the past year. Nonpetroleum import prices were unchanged in June 2004, the first month since October 2003 that these prices did not increase. For the year ended in June, prices for nonpetroleum imports were up 2.4 percent and overall import prices rose 5.6 percent. The price index for import foods, feeds, and beverages fell 0.5 percent in June, led by lower prices for vegetables and fruits. Foods, feeds, and beverages prices rose 5.6 percent over the past 12 months. Prices for capital goods and for nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials also decreased in June, each declining 0.1 percent. Lower computer prices and the recent appreciation of the U.S. dollar both contributed to the fall in capital goods prices. The decrease in prices for nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials was led by downturns in the price indexes for both building materials and unfinished metals. For the year ended in June, prices for capital goods fell 1.4 percent, whereas nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials prices were up 11.8 percent. In contrast, prices for automotive vehicles rose 0.2 percent in June. The price index for automotive vehicles has not posted a decline since September and was up 1.6 percent over the past 12 months. Consumer goods prices were unchanged in June and were up 0.4 percent for the June 2003-2004 period. Export Goods Export prices fell 0.6 percent in June, as both agricultural and nonagricultural prices contributed to the decline. The price index for agricultural exports fell 4.6 percent in June, marking the first monthly decline since August 2003 and the largest decrease since September 1996. A downturn in soybean prices led the fall in agricultural prices, although widespread declines in the prices of other grains and vegetables also contributed to the overall decrease. Nonagricultural prices fell in June by 0.1 percent. The index had not posted a decline since September and was up 2.9 percent for the year ended in June. Overall export prices increased 4.0 percent over the same period. The drop in nonagricultural prices was led by a 0.6 percent decrease in the index for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials. Downturns in metals and fuel prices contributed to the decline. Nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials prices had increased in each of the last 10 months and were up 9.7 percent over the past year. Prices for each of the major finished goods categories were unchanged in June. The price indexes for capital goods and for consumer goods also were unchanged in May but were up 0.5 percent and 0.8 percent, respectively, over the past 12 months. Automotive vehicle prices increased a modest 0.1 percent in May and were up 0.7 percent for the year ended in June. 3 Imports by Locality of Origin Prices for imports from Japan fell 0.3 percent in June after rising 0.2 percent in May. The decline paralleled the recent appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Japanese yen. Import prices from Japan were up 0.8 percent over the past 12 months. Import prices from the Asian Newly Industrialized Countries were unchanged in June after ticking up 0.1 percent the previous month. For the year ended in June, the index fell 0.7 percent. Prices for imports from Latin America fell 0.5 percent in June, which was the first monthly decline for the index since September 2003. Despite the June decrease, import prices from Latin America rose 9.3 percent over the year. Import prices from Canada and from the European Union both were unchanged in June. Prices of imports from Canada were up 8.4 percent for the year ended in June, and import prices from the European Union increased 5.4 percent over the same period. Import and Export Services Import air passenger fares rose 9.7 percent in June after a modest 0.9 percent rise in the previous month. The June increase was led by higher seasonal rates for both European and Asian fares. For the year ended in June, overall import fares rose 0.7 percent. Export air passenger fares rose at a more moderate 0.2 percent in June and were up 5.8 percent over the past 12 months. The price index for import air freight rose 0.3 percent for the March-June quarter and was up 5.3 percent for the year ended in June. Export air freight was up for the third consecutive quarter, rising 2.1 percent for the second quarter of 2004. Over the past 12 months, the index rose 4.1 percent.

NOTES: Data may be revised in each of the three months after original publication. n.a. Not available 17 TECHNICAL NOTE Import and Export Merchandise and Services Price Indexes -- All indexes use a modified Laspeyres formula and are not seasonally adjusted. Price indexes for merchandise goods are reweighted annually, with a two-year lag in the weights. The merchandise price indexes are published using three classifications: the Harmonized System (HS), the Bureau of Economic Analysis End Use System, and the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) system, Rev. 3. Price indexes for internationally traded services are presented using two definitions: Balance of Payments (which represent transactions between U.S. and foreign residents) and International (which represent transactions inbound to and outbound from the U.S.). Published series use a base year of 2000=100 where possible. More detailed index series and additional information may be obtained at http://www.bls.gov/mxp, or by calling (202) 691-7101. Import Price Indexes -- Products have been classified by the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (TSUSA). Import prices are based on U.S. dollar prices paid by the U.S. importer. The prices are generally either "free on board" (f.o.b.) foreign port or "cost, insurance, and freight" (c.i.f.) U.S. port transaction prices, depending on the practices of the individual industry. The index for crude petroleum is calculated from data collected by the U.S. Department of Energy. Export Price Indexes -- Products have been classified by the Harmonized Schedule B classification system of the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The prices used are generally either "free alongside ship" (f.a.s.) factory or "free on board" (f.o.b.) transaction prices, depending on the practices of the individual industry. Prices used in the grain index, excluding rice, are obtained from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Import Indexes by Locality of Origin -- Prices used in these indexes are a subset of the data collected for the Import Price Indexes. Beginning with January 2002, the indexes are defined by locality of origin using a nomenclature based upon the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Nonmanufactured goods are defined as NAICS 11 and 21, and manufactured goods are defined as NAICS 31-33. Services Price Indexes -- The Air Passenger Fares Indexes are calculated from data collected from a commercial airline reservation system. These data exclude frequent flyer tickets and those sold by consolidators. The Crude Oil Tanker Freight Indexes are calculated from data collected by the U. S. Department of Energy, and the publication of these indexes is lagged two months. The Air Freight and Ocean Liner Freight Indexes are calculated from data collected directly from companies. The trade dollar figures for services indexes will not sum up to the aggregate dollar value because not all categories are shown in the tables. Fact sheets specifying detailed information for each services industry are available at http://www.bls.gov/mxp under “Publications and Other Documentation”. Revision Policy -- To reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents, monthly data may be revised in each of the three months after original publication and quarterly data may be revised one quarter after original publication. Uses of the Data -- The primary use of the indexes is to deflate trade statistics. For merchandise trade, the End Use classification system is the structure used by the U.S. Department of Commerce in the construction of the foreign trade sector of the National Income and Product Accounts. Indexes published using the Harmonized System and the Standard International Trade Classification, Rev. 3, both international structures, are useful for general market analysis. For trade in international services, Balance of Payments indexes are used for deflating National Accounts data, while International indexes are more appropriate for market analysis. Merchandise and services indexes also can be used to study U.S. competitiveness and price elasticities, and the merchandise import indexes by country or region of origin are useful for terms of trade analysis. 18 The import and export news release contains monthly price indexes at the two-digit level of detail.
