The increase was led by higher petroleum prices, which advanced 7.6 percent, after a 4.8 percent downturn the previous month. The decline in May petroleum prices was preceded by a 26.2 percent increase over the first four months of 2005. Nonpetroleum prices declined 0.4 percent in June, following a 0.2 percent decrease in May. The declines were the first monthly decreases since the index edged down 0.1 percent in October 2004. Nonpetroleum import prices increased 2.1 percent for the year ended in June, while overall import prices rose 7.0 percent. The June decline in nonpetroleum import prices was partly attributable to the second consecutive 1.1 percent decrease in the monthly price index for nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials. Those declines were a turnaround from the recent upward trend in nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials prices, which had increased 8.6 percent in the ten months prior to May. The June decrease was led by a sharp drop in prices for natural gas, although lower metals and chemicals prices also helped to offset higher prices for building materials. Lower prices for foods, feeds, and beverages and for consumer goods also contributed to the overall drop in nonpetroleum prices. Led by a drop in vegetable prices, the price index for food, feeds, and beverages declined 1.7 percent in June, the largest monthly decrease for the index since February 2002. Despite the decline, foods, feeds, and beverages prices rose 6.4 percent over the past year. Prices of consumer goods fell 0.1 percent last month, but increased 1.4 percent for the year ended in June. The price indexes for capital goods and for automotive vehicles were both unchanged in June. Capital goods prices also were unchanged, on average, over the past 12 months, while prices of automotive vehicles rose 1.2 percent over the same period. Export Goods Export prices were unchanged in June, as a 1.2 percent increase in agricultural prices countered a slight 0.1 percent decline in nonagricultural prices. The price index of overall exports had decreased 0.2 percent in May, the first drop for the index since August 2004. Agricultural prices increased for the fourth month in a row in June and were led by higher prices for soybeans and corn, which more than offset lower vegetable prices. Despite the recent upward trend, agricultural prices declined 2.7 percent for the year ended in June. Nonagricultural prices fell for the second consecutive month after having not posted a decline since June 2004. The index rose 3.8 percent over the past 12 months, while overall export prices increased 3.2 percent for the same period. Lower prices for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials and for consumer goods both contributed to the recent drop in nonagricultural prices. The price index for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials declined 0.6 percent in June after a 1.3 percent decrease in May. Notwithstanding those declines, the index increased 11.3 percent over the past year. The June drop was attributable to lower prices for chemicals and metals, which more than offset higher fuel prices. Consumer goods prices also fell for the second consecutive month in June, decreasing 0.2 percent. Prices for consumer goods still rose 1.2 percent over the past 12 months. Capital goods prices and prices of automotive vehicles both rose 0.1 percent in June and increased 0.7 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively, over the past year. 3 Imports by Locality of Origin Import prices from the European Union resumed an upward trend in June, rising 0.2 percent following a 0.2 percent decline in May. Higher petroleum prices led the turnaround. Prices of imports from the European Union advanced 5.3 percent over the past 12 months. The resumption of the upward trend in petroleum prices also impacted the price index of imports from Mexico, which rose 0.5 percent in June and 8.5 percent over the past year. Prices of imports from Canada and from Japan were both unchanged in June. Import prices from Canada had declined 0.5 percent in May, while import prices from Japan remained unchanged for the second consecutive month after modest 0.1 percent decreases in March and April. Despite the recent declines, the price indexes of imports from Canada and from Japan both increased for the year ended in June, up 7.1 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively. In contrast, prices of imports from China declined 0.1 percent last month after recording no change for May. The index declined 0.9 percent for the June 2004-2005 period. Import and Export Services Import air passenger fares increased 10.2 percent in June, led by a jump for European and Asian fares, which rose 12.7 percent and 13.4 percent, respectively. Although reflective of seasonal trends, the overall increase in import fares was the largest one-month rise since monthly publication began at the beginning of 2001. Over the past 12 months, import air passenger fares increased 4.1 percent. In contrast, export air passenger fares declined 4.5 percent after increasing 6.8 percent in May. Despite the June drop, the index was up 10.0 percent over the past 12 months. The price index for import air freight decreased a modest 0.1 percent from March to June after increasing for each of the previous five quarters. Export air freight prices continued to trend upward, rising 3.5 percent for the second quarter of 2005. For the year ended in June, import air freight prices increased 9.4 percent and export air freight prices rose 11.1 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 (BEA) 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.
