Producer Price Indexes -- July 2002 

The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods declined 0.2 percent in July, seasonally adjusted, the 

Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. This decrease followed a 0.1-

percent rise in June and a 0.4-percent decline in May. At the earlier stages of processing, the intermediate 

goods index advanced at a 0.2-percent rate for the second consecutive month, and prices received by crude 

goods producers moved up 0.6 percent, following a 3.6-percent drop in June. (See table A.)

The index for finished goods other than foods and energy fell 0.3 percent in July, after posting a 0.2-

percent increase in the prior month. Excluding passenger cars and light trucks, the index for finished goods 

would have shown no change and the index for finished goods other than foods and energy would have 

decreased 0.1 percent in July. Finished consumer food prices edged down 0.1 percent in July, following a 0.1-

percent rise a month earlier. By contrast, prices for finished energy goods advanced 0.1 percent in July, after 

showing no change a month earlier. 

 Before seasonal adjustment, the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods decreased 0.2 percent to 138.9 

(1982=100) in July. From July 2001 to July 2002, prices for finished goods fell 1.1 percent. During the same 

period, the index for finished energy goods dipped 5.2 percent, prices for finished consumer foods declined 1.3 

percent, and the index for finished goods other than foods and energy edged down 0.2 percent. At the earlier 

stages of processing, prices received by producers of intermediate goods decreased 1.5 percent for the 12 

months ended July 2002, and the crude goods index fell 6.2 percent during the same period.

Finished goods

 Prices for finished consumer goods other than foods and energy declined 0.4 percent in July, compared 

with a 0.3-percent advance in June. The light motor trucks index fell 1.6 percent in July, after rising 0.5 percent 

in June, and passenger car prices decreased 1.5 percent, following a 0.4-percent increase. The July price 

declines for passenger cars and light motor trucks reflect an increase in incentives. Prices also turned down for 

cosmetics and other toilet preparations, men’s and boys’ apparel, household appliances, alcoholic beverages, 

and girls’, children’s, and infants’ apparel. On the other hand, the index for women’s apparel advanced 0.2 

percent, after falling at a 0.2-percent rate in June. Prices for floor coverings and household furniture rose at a 

faster pace in July than they did a month earlier. 

 The capital equipment index decreased 0.4 percent in July, compared with a 0.1-percent increase in 

June. Prices for light motor trucks, passenger cars, construction machinery, and commercial furniture 

decreased, following increases in June. The index for communication and related equipment fell 1.0 percent in 

July, after showing no change in the preceding month. The index for electronic computers fell at a faster pace 

in July than it did in June. Conversely, prices for heavy motor trucks rose 0.9 percent in July, after edging up 

0.1 percent in the prior month. The indexes for tools, dies, jigs, and industrial molds and for metal cutting 

machine tools turned up in July. 

 The index for finished consumer foods edged down 0.1 percent, following a 0.1-percent increase in 

June. Beef and veal prices fell 1.4 percent in July, after rising 1.5 percent in the preceding month. The indexes 

for eggs for fresh use and soft drinks also turned down in July. The rate of price increase slowed for both fresh 

and dry vegetables and confectionery end products, while larger price declines were registered for processed 

young chickens. On the other hand, the index for fresh fruits and melons decreased 5.6 percent in July, 

compared with a 12.0-percent drop in June. Dairy product prices also declined at a slower rate in July than in 

the prior month. The indexes for finfish and shellfish and processed fruits and vegetables rose, after falling in 

the previous month. Prices for pork increased more in July than they did in June. 

 The index for finished energy goods increased 0.1 percent in July, after showing no change in the prior 

month. In July, advancing prices for gasoline, home heating oil, diesel fuel, and finished lubricants slightly 

outweighed declining prices for residential electric power, residential natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas. 

Intermediate goods

The Producer Price Index for Intermediate Materials, Supplies, and Components rose 0.2 percent in July, 

the same rate of increase as in June. Rising prices for nondurable manufacturing materials, intermediate foods 

and feeds, materials and components for construction, and durable manufacturing materials slightly outweighed 

price declines for intermediate energy goods. The index for intermediate materials other than foods and energy 

advanced 0.2 percent for the second consecutive month. (See table B.) 

Prices for nondurable manufacturing materials moved up 0.7 percent in July, following a 0.4-percent 

gain in the previous month. Advancing prices were observed for industrial chemicals, plastic resins and 

materials, paperboard, medicinal and botanical chemicals, and paper. These increases more than offset falling 

prices for finished fabrics, phosphates, processed yarns and threads, gray fabrics, and fertilizer materials. 
-4- 

 The index for intermediate foods and feeds rose 1.5 percent in July, following a 0.7-percent advance in 

June. Prices for prepared animal feeds posted a 3.5-percent gain, following a 0.7-percent increase in the 

previous month. The July index for sausage and deli meats turned up, after falling a month earlier. Prices for 

confectionery materials, pork, and flour rose more in July than they did in June. The index for fluid milk 

products fell at a slower rate than in the prior month. By contrast, beef and veal prices turned down 1.4 percent 

in July, following a 1.5-percent rise in June. The indexes for crude vegetable oils and for mayonnaise, salad 

dressings, and sandwich spreads both increased at a slower pace than they did a month ago. Prices for natural, 

processed, and imitation cheese decreased more in July than they did in June. The refined sugar index turned 

down, after rising in the previous month. 

Prices for materials and components for construction increased 0.2 percent in July, after inching up 0.1 

percent in June. The rising indexes for fabricated structural metal products, softwood lumber, hardwood 

lumber, nonferrous wire and cable, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, and plastic construction 

products more than offset price declines for gypsum products, plywood, millwork, fabricated ferrous wire 

products, asphalt felts and coatings, and switchgear. 

The index for durable manufacturing materials edged up 0.2 percent in July, after advancing 0.6 percent 

a month earlier. Prices for steel mill products increased 0.9 percent, following a 2.6-percent rise in June. The 

indexes for primary nonferrous metals, aluminum mill shapes, copper and brass mill shapes, prepared paint, and 

plywood turned down in July, after increasing in the prior month. Conversely, prices for building paper and 

board turned up 3.0 percent, compared with a 2.0-percent decline in the previous month. The index for 

hardwood lumber also rose, after falling in June. Prices for flat glass increased in July, after showing no change 

in the prior month. 

Subsequent to a 0.5-percent gain in June, the intermediate energy goods index fell 1.0 percent in July. 

Leading this downturn, prices for commercial electric power decreased 2.1 percent, after rising 0.8 percent in 

the prior month. The indexes for natural gas to electric utilities, commercial natural gas, and residual fuel also 

turned down, following advances in June. The rate of decline for the industrial natural gas index quickened 

from June to July. On the other hand, the index for industrial electric power advanced 1.6 percent, after 

showing no change in the previous month. Jet fuel prices turned up in July, following declines a month earlier. 

The index for liquefied petroleum gas fell at a slower rate in July, while prices for gasoline and diesel fuel rose 

more than they did in June. 

Crude goods

 Prices for crude materials for further processing advanced 0.6 percent in July, after posting a 3.6-percent 

decline in June. The index for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs turned up in July, while prices for crude energy 

materials fell at a slower rate than they did in June. The basic industrial materials index moved up at a slightly 

faster rate in July than it did a month earlier. (See table B.) 

Following a 0.9-percent drop in June, the index for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs rose 1.5 percent in 

July. Leading this upturn, corn prices advanced 17.8 percent in July, after falling 0.4 percent in the previous 

month. Prices for slaughter hogs, wheat, and soybeans climbed faster in July than they did in the prior month. 

The index for slaughter cattle fell at a slower pace than it did in June. By contrast, prices for slaughter broilers 

and fryers declined 7.9 percent in July, following a 5.8-percent rise in June. The fluid milk index fell at a faster 

rate in July than it did a month ago. The index for fresh and dry vegetables moved up at a slower rate in July 

than it did in the preceding month.
-5- 

The Producer Price Index for Crude Energy Materials declined 0.9 percent in July, after registering an 

8.9-percent drop in June. Crude petroleum prices advanced 9.5 percent, turning up from a 19.5-percent fall in 

the previous month. Alternatively, the index for natural gas dropped 7.7 percent in July, following a 3.5-percent 

decrease a month earlier. Prices for coal fell 1.2 percent in July, after remaining unchanged in the prior month. 

Prices for basic industrial materials rose 1.7 percent, after advancing 1.6 percent in June. Rising prices 

for wastepaper, raw cotton, iron and steel scrap, and nonferrous metal ores were partially offset by falling prices 

for aluminum base scrap, copper base scrap, pulpwood, and gold ores. 

Net output price indexes for mining, manufacturing, and services industries

Mining. The Producer Price Index for the Net Output of Total Domestic Mining Industries fell 2.1 percent in 

July, after posting a 7.0-percent decrease in the previous month. (Net output price indexes are not seasonally 

adjusted.) Prices received by the oil and gas extraction industry group moved down 3.1 percent, following a 

9.8-percent drop in June. The index for the metal mining industry group advanced 0.9 percent, after rising 0.7 

percent in the prior month. On the other hand, prices received by the industry group for coal mining decreased 

0.2 percent, compared with a 0.1-percent decline a month earlier. In July 2002, the Producer Price Index for 

Total Mining Industries stood at 92.6 (December 1984 = 100), 6.2 percent below its year-ago level. 

Manufacturing. The Producer Price Index for the Net Output of Total Domestic Manufacturing Industries 

showed no change for the second consecutive month. In July, higher prices received by the industry groups for 

petroleum refining and related products, chemicals and allied products, food and kindred products, fabricated 

metal products (except machinery and transportation equipment), and lumber and wood products (except 

furniture) offset price decreases received by the industry groups for transportation equipment, machinery 

(except electrical), electrical and electronic machinery and equipment, and rubber and miscellaneous plastic 

products. In July, the Producer Price Index for Total Manufacturing Industries stood at 133.6 (December 1984 

= 100), 0.6 percent lower than a year ago. 

Services. Among service industries in July, advancing prices were registered by the United Stated Postal 

Service, general medical and surgical hospitals, specialty hospitals (except psychiatric), help supply services, 

advertising agencies, and wireless telecommunications. By contrast, falling prices were posted by the industries 

for telephone communications (except radiotelephone); accounting, auditing, and bookkeeping services; 

engineering, design, analysis, and consulting services; truck rental and leasing; and trucking (except local).

Resampling of Industries 

 Effective with the release of data for July 2002, the Producer Price Index (PPI) includes data for 19 

resampled industries. The Bureau of Labor Statistics periodically updates the sample of producers providing 

data for the PPI to more accurately reflect current conditions when the structure, membership, technology, or 

product mix of an industry shifts. The first results of this systematic process were published in July 1986. 

Subsequent efforts have been completed at 6-month intervals. 

Also effective with this release, PPIs for 2 service industries were introduced: Standard Industrial 

Classification (SIC) 4833, Television Broadcasting Stations, and SIC 5531, Auto and Home Supply Stores. The 

index data for SIC 4833 have a start date of June 2001, while the index data for SIC 5531 have start date of 

December 2001. The introduction of these industries is part of an ongoing effort to expand PPI coverage to 

sectors of the economy other than mining and manufacturing.

Technical Note 

Brief Explanation of Producer Price Indexes 

 The term Producer Price Index (PPI) refers to a family of indexes that measure the average change over time in the selling prices 

received by domestic producers of goods and services. PPIs measure price change from the perspective of the seller. This contrasts 

with other measures, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI); CPIs measure price change from the purchaser's perspective. Sellers' 

and purchasers' prices may differ due to government subsidies, sales and excise taxes, and distribution costs. 

 More than 10,000 PPIs for individual products and groups of products are released each month. PPIs are available for the products 

of virtually every industry in the mining and manufacturing sectors of the U.S. economy. New PPIs are gradually being introduced for 

the products of industries in the transportation, utilities, trade, finance, and services sectors of the economy. 

 More than 100,000 price quotations per month are organized into three sets of producer price indexes: (1) stage-of-processing 

indexes; (2) commodity indexes; and (3) indexes for the net output of industries and their products. The stage-of-processing structure 

(tables 1, 2, and 5) organizes products by class of buyer and degree of fabrication. The commodity structure (tables 2 and 3) organizes 

products by similarity of end-use or material composition. The entire output of various industries is sampled to derive price indexes 

for the net output of industries and their products (table 4). 

 Within the stage-of-processing system, finished goods are commodities that will not undergo further processing and are ready for 

sale to the final demand user, either an individual consumer or business firm. Consumer foods include unprocessed foods such as 

eggs and fresh vegetables, as well as processed foods such as bakery products and meats. Other finished consumer goods include

durable goods such as automobiles, household furniture, and appliances; and nondurable goods such as apparel and home heating oil. 

Capital equipment includes producer durable goods such as heavy motor trucks, tractors, and machine tools. 

 The stage-of-processing category for intermediate materials, supplies, and components consists partly of commodities that have 

been processed but require further processing. Examples of such semifinished goods include flour, cotton yarn, steel mill products, 

and lumber. The intermediate goods category also encompasses nondurable physically complete items purchased by business firms as 

inputs for their operations. Examples include diesel fuel, belts and belting, paper boxes, and fertilizers. 

 Crude materials for further processing are products entering the market for the first time that have not been manufactured or 

fabricated and that are not sold directly to consumers. Crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs include items such as grains and livestock. 

Examples of crude nonfood materials include raw cotton, crude petroleum, coal, hides and skins, and iron and steel scrap. 

 Producer price indexes for the net output of industries and their products are grouped according to the Standard Industrial 

Classification (SIC). Industry price indexes are compatible with other economic time series organized by SIC codes, such as data on 

employment, wages, and productivity. Table 4 lists indexes for the net output of major mining and manufacturing industry groups at 

the 2-digit level. 

 Producer price indexes are based on selling prices reported by establishments of all sizes selected by probability sampling, with the 

probability of selection proportionate to size. Individual items and transaction terms from these firms are also chosen by probability 

proportionate to size. BLS strongly encourages cooperating companies to supply actual transaction prices at the time of shipment to 

minimize the use of list prices. Prices are normally reported by mail questionnaire for the Tuesday of the week containing the 13th. 

 

 Price data are provided on a voluntary and confidential basis; no one but sworn BLS employees are allowed access to individual 

company price reports. The Bureau publishes price indexes instead of unit dollar prices. All producer price indexes are routinely 

subject to revision once, 4 months after original publication, to reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents. 

 The BLS periodically updates the PPI sample of survey respondents to better reflect current conditions when the structure, 

membership, technology, or product mix of an industry shifts significantly and to spread reporting burden among smaller firms. 

Results of these resampling efforts are incorporated into the PPI every January and July. 
 As part of an ongoing effort to expand coverage to sectors of the economy other than mining and manufacturing, an increasing 

number of service sector industries have been introduced into the PPI. The following list of recently introduced service industries 

includes the month in which an article describing the industry's content appeared in the PPI Detailed Report:

 Weights for most traditional commodity groupings of the PPI, as well as all indexes (such as stage-of-processing indexes) 

calculated from traditional commodity groupings, currently reflect 1992 values of shipments as reported in the Census of 

Manufactures and other sources. From January 1992 through December 1995, PPI weights were derived from 1987 shipment values. 

Industry indexes shown in table 4 are also now calculated with 1992 net output weights. This periodic update of the value weights 

used to calculate the PPI is done to more accurately reflect changes in production and marketing patterns in the economy. 

 Net output values of shipments are used as weights for industry indexes. Net output values refer to the value of shipments from 

establishments in one industry to establishments classified in another industry. However, weights for commodity price indexes are 

based on gross shipment values, including shipment values between establishments within the same industry. As a result, broad 

commodity grouping indexes such as the all commodities index are affected by the multiple counting of price change at successive 

stages of processing, which can lead to exaggerated or misleading signals about inflation. Stage-of-processing indexes partially 

correct this defect, but industry indexes consistently correct for this at all levels of aggregation. Therefore, industry and stage-ofprocessing indexes are more appropriate than broad commodity groupings for economic analysis of general price trends. 

 Effective with publication of January 1988 data, many important PPI series (including stage-of-processing groupings and most 

commodity groups and individual items) were placed on a new reference base, 1982=100. From 1971 through 1987, the standard 

reference base for most PPI series was 1967=100. Except for rounding differences, the shift to the new reference base did not alter any 

changes to previously published percent changes for affected PPI series. (See "Calculating Index Changes," below.) The new 

reference base is not used for indexes with a base later than December 1981, nor for indexes for the net output of industries and their 

products. 

 For further information on the underlying concepts and methodology of the Producer Price Index, see chapter 14, "Producer 

Prices," in BLS Handbook of Methods (April 1997), Bulletin 2490. Reprints are available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics on 

request. 
Calculating Index Changes 

 Each index measures price changes from a reference period which equals 100.0 (1982 or some later month). An increase of 5.5 

percent from the reference period in the Finished Goods Price Index, for example, is shown as 105.5. This change can also be 

expressed in dollars as follows: "Prices received by domestic producers of a systematic sample of finished goods have risen from 

$100 in 1982 to $105.50 today." Likewise, a current index of 90.0 would indicate that prices received by producers of finished goods 

today are 10 percent lower than they were in 1982. 

 Movements of price indexes from one month to another are usually expressed as percent changes rather than as changes in index 

points because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period, whereas percent changes are 

not. The example below shows the computation of index point and percent changes. 

 Index point change 

 Finished Goods Price Index 107.5 

 Less previous index 104.0 

 Equals index point change 3.5 

 Index percent change 

 Index point change 3.5 

 Divided by the previous index 104.0 

 Equals 0.034 

 Result multiplied by 100 0.034 x 100 

 Equals percent change 3.4 

 

 

Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data 

 Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted 

and unadjusted changes each month. Seasonally adjusted data are preferred for analyzing general price trends in the economy because 

they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at about the same time and in about the same magnitude every year--such as 

price movements resulting from normal weather patterns, regular production and marketing cycles, model changeovers, seasonal 

discounts, and holidays. For these reasons, seasonally adjusted data more clearly reveal underlying cyclical trends. 

 Unadjusted data are of primary interest to users who need information that can be related to actual dollar values of transactions. 

Individuals requiring this information include marketing specialists, purchasing agents, budget and cost analysts, contract specialists, 

and commodity traders. It is the unadjusted data that are generally cited in escalating long-term contracts such as purchasing

agreements or real estate leases. (See Escalation and Producer Price Indexes: A Guide for Contracting Parties, BLS Report 807, 

September 1991, available on request from BLS.) 

 For more information, see (1) "Appendix A: Seasonal Adjustment Methodology at BLS," in the BLS Handbook of Methods (April 

1997), Bulletin 2490 and (2) "Summary of Changes to the PPI's Seasonal Adjustment Methodology" in the January 1995 issue of 

Producer Price Indexes.
