Thursday, November 30, 1995 U.S. IMPORT AND EXPORT PRICE INDEXES -OCTOBER 1995The U.S. Import Price Index fell 0.6 percent in October, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The decrease was the fourth in the last 5 months. The U.S. Export Price Index advanced 0.1 percent in October, the same as in September.

Import Goods Over the past 5 months, import prices have declined 1.5 percent after advancing 3.5 percent during the first 5 months of 1995. The October decrease was broadly based as both the petroleum and nonpetroleum indexes fell. Imported petroleum prices resumed a recent downward trend in October, falling 3.7 percent after rising 2.3 percent in the previous month. The index had decreased 4 of the past 5 months, dropping 13.0 percent over the time period. In addition, nonpetroleum import prices decreased 0.2 percent for the second consecutive month after having posted increases earlier in the year. The October decrease in nonpetroleum import prices was highlighted by the continued decline in prices for capital goods, which dropped 0.6 percent in October and 0.7 percent in September. Import prices also fell for foods, feeds, and beverages, down 1.2 percent, and for consumer goods, down 0.2 percent; the decreases were the same in September for both indexes. Nonpetroleum industrial supplies, also posted a 0.2 percent decrease in October, after increasing in the previous 3 months. In contrast, the index for imported automotive vehicles, parts, and engines recorded a 0.3 percent increase in October, the same as in September. Export Goods The 0.1 percent increase in export prices matched the September increase and was led by a 2.0 percent rise in the index for agricultural exports. Over the past 12 months the index for all exports was up 4.8 percent, due largely to an 18.5 percent increase in agriculture prices. In contrast, the price index for nonagricultural exports fell for the fourth consecutive month, declining 0.2 percent in October. Nonagricultural exports were down 0.3, 0.4, and 0.2 percent in September, August, and July, but were still up 3.1 percent over the past 12 months. The recent declines have been primarily associated with lower prices for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials, down 0.9 percent in October. Moderating the October drop in nonagricultural export prices was a 0.9 percent increase in the index for exported automotive vehicles. The increase reflected the introduction of new model passenger cars. (The indexes in this release are not seasonally adjusted.) The export price indexes for capital goods and for consumer goods were unchanged for the second and third consecutive months, respectively. Over the year ended in October, both indexes were up a modest 1.4 percent. Imports by Locality of Origin The price index for imports from Japan continued its recent downward trend, falling 0.7 percent in October after declining 0.7 percent in September and 0.3 percent in August. For the year ending in October, however, the index rose 3.1 percent, due largely to the 5.0 percent gain recorded from January to July of this year. Import prices from Canada also fell 0.7 percent in October, a marked turnaround from the 0.9 percent increase in September. Despite the October decrease, the index rose 6.1 percent for the year ending in October. The import price index for the Asian Newly Industrialized Countries decreased 0.2 percent in October, after edging up 0.1 percent in September. Over the past 12 months, the index recorded a modest 0.9 percent increase. Import prices from the European Union also remained relatively stable, edging up 0.1 percent in October after falling by the same amount the previous month. For the year ending in October, however, the index rose 4.6 percent, attributable to larger increases earlier in 1995.

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 represents transactions between U.S. and foreign residents) and International (which represents all transactions with U.S. importers or exporters, regardless of nationality). Published series use a base year of 1990=100 where possible. Exceptions are for the recently instituted HS indexes, which use a base of December 1992=100. Net transaction price data are collected every 3 months for approximately 22,000 products from over 9,000 companies and secondary sources. Approximately two-thirds of the items are also repriced in the intervening months. (Current plans call for all items to be repriced monthly by 1996.) Indexes are not seasonally adjusted. Historical index series and additional information may be obtained from the Division of International Prices, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2 Massachusetts Avenue NE, PSB 3955, Washington, D.C. 20212, (202) 606-7155. Import Price Indexes -- Products have been classified by the 1990 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. The index for import electrical energy is lagged one month. Export Price Indexes -- Products have been classified by the 1990 Harmonized Schedule B classification system of the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The prices used are generally either "free on board" (f.o.b.) factory or "free alongside ship" (f.a.s.) 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. Prior to January 1993, nonmanufactured goods were defined as SITC 0-4 and manufactured goods were defined as SITC 5-8. Beginning with January 1993, the indexes are weighted by country or region of origin using a nomenclature based upon the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC-Based). Nonmanufactured goods are defined as SIC 0-1, and manufactured goods are defined as SIC 2-3. The indexes use a base of December 1990=100. Import, Export, and International Services Indexes -- Indexes are updated on a quarterly basis. The figures for services indexes will not sum up to the aggregate dollar value because not all categories are shown in the tables. Revenue figures for air passenger indexes exclude frequent flyer tickets and those sold by consolidators. Indexes for crude oil tanker freight are calculated from data collected by the U. S. Department of Energy and represent the second month of the quarter. Revision policy -- Data are revised for the previous 3 months to reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents. 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 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 can also 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. The import and export news release contains monthly price indexes at the two-digit level of detail.
