  • Price Movements January 1980

    The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods advanced 1.6 percent from December to January on a seasonally adjusted basis. The January increase was considerably larger than the average monthly rise of 1.0 percent in 1979. Prices for intermediate (semifinished) goods increased 2.8 percent, far more than in any month last year. Prices for crude materials, however, declined 0.9 percent, entirely because of lower prices for crude foodstuffs (table A).

    The acceleration in the Finished Goods Price Index was caused by sharply higher prices for energy goods, con-sumer goods other than food and energy, and capital equipment. In contrast, the consumer foods index fell 0.8 percent, after rising in 5 of the preceding 6 months (table B).

    Before seasonal adjustment, the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods rose 1.9 percent to 232.1 (1967=100).

    Over the year, the Finished Goods Price Index moved up 13.0 percent. The index for finished energy goods advanced 66.5 percent from January 1979 to January 1980, finished consumer foods rose S.l percent, finished consumer goods less foods and energy increased 11.0 percent, and capital equipment prices moved up 9.5 percent. The Producer Price Index for intermediate goods was 17.7 percent higher than in January 1979, and crude material prices increased 14.1 percent.

    Finished goods Finished consumer goods. The Producer Price Index for finished consumer goods rose 1.6 percent in January, more than in any other month since the fall of 1974. Prices for consumer durables, consumer nondurables other than food, and capital equipment all rose twice as much as

    1 Seasonal adjustment factors have been recalculated to reflect corrections by respondents. For these reason, some figures shown developments during 1979. In addition, data for September 1979 above and elsewhere in this report may differ from those previously have been revised to reflect the availability of late reports and reported.

    in the previous month. The index for consumer durables advanced 3.2 percent

    in January after rising 1.6 percent in December and 1.0 percent in November. Much of the acceleration was caused by steep price increases for household flatware (54.6 per-cent) and precious metal jewelry (22.5 percent), both of which resulted from escalating prices for gold and silver. Passenger car prices also rose much faster in January (2.0 percent vs. 0.6 percent in December).

    Prices for consumer nondurables other than foods rose 2.6 percent in January, about twice as much as in each of the previous 2 months. Price increases accelerated for gaso-line (5.7 vs. 3.2 percent), home heating oil (2.0 vs. 0.1 percent), and tobacco products (4.4 vs. 2.0 percent). Prices also advanced more than in December for cosmetics, toys, sanitary papers and health products, soaps and detergents, textile housefurnishings, tires and tubes, bicycles, and finished lubricants. Nonalcoholic beverages and apparel prices turned up after little or no change in December.

    The index for finished consumer foods fell 0.8 percent after rising 0.2 percent in December and 2.0 percent in November. Prices declined for beef and veal, pork, eggs, and fresh fruits after rising a month earlier. Prices for fresh and dried vegetables, roasted coffee, and processed poultry also fell. On the other hand, prices for dairy prod-ucts and bakery products rose faster than in December. Prices also moved up for processed fruits and vegetables, fish, refined sugar in consumer size packages, and milled rice.

    Capital equipment. The index for capital equipment rose 1.6 percent, about twice as much as in each of the previous 4 months. Prices for motor trucks advanced 1.1 percent, more than in December but less than in the 2 months prior to that. Aircraft prices turned up after declining in December. Prices rose faster than in December for construc-tion machinery, agricultural machinery, office and store machinery, generators and generator sets, machine tools, and railroad equipment.

    Intermediate materials The Producer Price Index for intermediate materials,

    supplies, and components rose 2.8 percent seasonally adjusted from December to January, the largest increase since August 1974. This acceleration was chiefly the result of substantial price rises for precious metals, fuels, and energy-intensive products. However, the index for intermediate foods and feeds registered the sharpest decline in over 2 years.

    The index for intermediate materials less foods and feeds advanced 3.0 percent. The durable manufacturing materials category increased 5.5 percent following a 1.3 percent upward movement in December. Precious metal prices rose 94.7 percent, accounting for about one quarter of the increase in the total intermediate materials index. Higher precious metal prices led to a 38.7 percent advance in the index for jewelers' materials and findings. The rate of advance also accelerated in the price indexes for semi-finished steel mill products, copper, flat glass, and plastic

  • parts and components. Prices also rose, but less than in December, for nickel, laminated plastic sheets, and foamed plastic products. Lead prices fell sharply.

    The processed fuels and lubricants index moved up 4.8 percent, the largest rise since August. Price increases ac-celerated for residual fuels, liquefied petroleum gas, com-mercial jet fuel, and diesel fuel. Electric power rates moved up, but not as much as in the previous month.

    The nondurable manufacturing materials category rose 2.5 percent, nearly twice as much as in December. Prices in-creased much more than in the previous month for indus-trial chemicals, synthetic rubber, plastic resins and mater-ials, adhesive resins, woodpulp, paperboard, finished fab-rics, and synthetic fibers. Prices continued to rise sharply for phosphates and nitrogenates.

    The index for construction materials also moved up more than in December. Higher prices were recorded for concrete products, Portland cement, asphalt roofing, bituminous paving materials, prepared paint, and non-ferrous wire and cable. On the other hand, prices for both softwood lumber and plywood fell for the third consecutive month.

    In the manufacturing components category, large price increases occurred for electronic components, electric motors, switchgear and switchboards, internal combustion engines, and bearings. Several other industrial products registered substantial price hikes, including paper boxes and containers, metal cans, electric lamps and bulbs, and mixed fertilizers.

    The intermediate foods and feeds index fell 2.7 percent, the largest decline since July 1977. Prices were shaiply lower for manufactured animal feeds, vegetable oils, re-fined sugar for food manufacturing, confectionery mater-

    ials, and flour. In contrast, prices for animal fats and oils rose substantially.

    Crude materials The Producer Price Index for crude materials for further

    processing declined 0.9 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis, following increases ranging between 1.0 and 2.2 percent in each of the last 4 months of 1979. Prices for crude foodstuffs turned down sharply following a slight increase in December, but crude nonfood materials con-tinued to rise sharply.

    The index for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs fell 3.8 percent following a 03 percent increase in December. Much of the fall was due to sharply lower prices for coffee, corn, and hogs, all of which had risen somewhat in the preceding month. Soybeans, wheat, and cattle prices moved down considerably more than in the previous month. Prices for cocoa beans and raw sugar increased but not as much as in December.

    The index for crude nonfood materials less energy rose 2.4 percent following a 0.2 percent increase in December. The acceleration was due to sharply higher prices for nonferrous scrap, cotton, sand, gravel and crushed stone, wastepaper, natural rubber, and potash. On the other hand, iron and steel scrap prices fell much more than in December.

    Prices for crude energy materials rose 3.0 percent over the month, somewhat less than the 4.1 percent advance in December, but more than in either of the 2 preceding months. Domestic crude petroleum prices moved up 9.1 percent, double the December rise, but natural gas prices fell 1.0 percent following a steep advance in December.

  • Seasonal Adjustment Procedures

    Effective with this issue, seasonal adjustment factors have been recalculated to reflect 1979 experience for stage-of-processing (SOP) groupings, commodity groupings, and groupings by durability of product. This routine annual recalculation may affect seasonally adjusted data from January 1975 to the present. Revised seasonally adjusted

    data for this period, as well as seasonal factors to be used through December 1980, are available on request from BLS. Table C compares percent changes for seasonally adjusted indexes calculated with the old seasonal factors and seasonally adjusted indexes recalculated with the new factors for the three major SOP categories.

  • Data from the Producer Price Index Revision

    The first group of industry price indexes calculated from the comprehensive program to revise the Producer Price Index (PPI) will now be published each month in this report in table 4: "Producer price indexes for the net out-put of selected industries and their products." Output price indexes from the PPI revision will be published for 16 industries in the manufacturing and mining sectors of the economy. In addition to these industry output price indexes, data are also available beginning this month for selected product classes and products in each of these industries.

    Data which previously appeared in table 14 for the four industries in the pilot survey for the PPI revision now appear in the new table 4. The former table 4, "Producer price indexes and percent changes for commodity group-ings," no longer will be published. The former table IS, "Price indexes and percent changes for total railroad freight and selected STCC groups," has been renumbered table 14.

    Traditional commodity price indexes and Industry-Sector Price Indexes (ISPI's) will continue to be published. However, those traditional indexes which correspond to new indexes published in the revision program are now based on the movements of the corresponding revision indexes. (See tables D and E.) As new industries are pub-lished, their product indexes will also be used in the tradi-tional commodity and ISPI structures. In 1983, an entire-ly new structure will replace the traditional commodity structure as the primary vehicle for reporting and analyz-ing price changes at the primary market level.

    The new indexes calculated for the PPI revision differ from traditional commodity price indexes and ISPI's in several important respects:

    (1) Coverage will eventually be expanded to include all production in mining and manufacturing industries, whereas traditional commodity indexes have covered only about half of this value. The 16 industries now being published from the revision program account for 3.9 per-cent of all mining and manufacturing production.

    (2) New indexes are classified according to the widely used Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) and incorpor-ate most features of the Census of Manufactures product code extensions of the SIC. Traditional commodity price indexes are grouped by a classification structure unique to

    BLS and are therefore difficult to use with industry-oriented economic data.

    (3) New indexes use net output values of shipments as weights rather than gross output values. New output values refer to the value of shipments leaving the industry and thus exclude intra-industry shipments. Therefore, new indexes consistently eliminate multiple counting of price changes at successive stages of processing. (Net output weights are not used, however, for traditional commodity indexes whose movements are based on corresponding new indexes.)

    (4) New indexes emphasize actual transaction prices at time of shipment to minimize the use of list prices and order prices which occasionally have been used in tradi-tional commodity price indexes and ISPI's.

    (5) New indexes are based on prices reported for a broader range of products and by companies of all sizes selected by probability sampling methods rather than by a judgment of volume-selling products and major pro-ducers.

    See Technical Note, "Data from the Producer Price In-dex Revision," at the back of this publication for further detail.

    The following industries are being published in the first phase of the PPI revision:

    SIC code Industry title

    1111 Anthracite 20751 Soybean oil mills 2272 Tufted carpets and rugs 2511 Wood household furniture, except upholstered 2522 Metal office furniture 27111 Newspapers 2721 Periodicals 2873 Nitrogenous fertilizers 2874 Phosphatic fertilizers 2875 Fertilizers, mixing only 3149 Footwear, except rubber, not elsewhere classified 32721 Concrete products, except block and brick 3537 Industrial trucks, tractors, trailers, and stackers 36331 Household laundry equipment 3715 Truck trailers 3822 Environmental controls

    Price indexes for these industries were calculated during 1978 and 1979 in a pilot project to test the methodology and concepts of the PPI revision program.
