PRODUCER PRICE INDEXES – DECEMBER 2013 

The Producer Price Index for finished goods advanced 0.4 percent in December, seasonally adjusted, the 

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Prices for finished goods declined 0.1 percent in 

November and 0.2 percent in October. At the earlier stages of processing, prices received by producers 

of intermediate goods rose 0.6 percent in December, and the crude goods index climbed 2.4 percent. On 

an unadjusted basis, prices for finished goods increased 1.2 percent in 2013 compared with a 1.4-percent 

advance in 2012. (See table A.)

Stage-of-Processing Analysis 

Finished goods

Leading the December rise in the finished goods index, prices for finished energy goods increased 1.6 

percent. Also contributing to the advance, the index for finished goods less foods and energy moved up 

0.3 percent. By contrast, prices for finished consumer foods decreased 0.6 percent. 

Finished energy: Prices for finished energy goods climbed 1.6 percent in December, the largest 

advance since a 2.5-percent jump in June 2013. Over half of the rise in December can be traced to a 2.2-

percent increase in the gasoline index. Higher prices for diesel fuel and home heating oil also were 

factors in the advance in the finished energy goods index. (See table 2.) 

Finished core: The index for finished goods less foods and energy moved up 0.3 percent in December, 

the largest advance since a 0.5-percent rise in July 2012. Nearly half of the December increase is 

attributable to prices for tobacco products, which climbed 3.6 percent. Higher motor vehicle prices also 

contributed to the advance in the finished core index. 

Finished foods: The index for finished consumer foods fell 0.6 percent in December following no 

change in November. Leading the decrease, prices for fresh and dry vegetables dropped 13.4 percent. 

Intermediate goods

The Producer Price Index for intermediate materials, supplies, and components increased 0.6 percent in 

December after two consecutive declines. Nearly three-quarters of the broad-based advance can be 

traced to the index for intermediate energy goods, which rose 1.9 percent. Prices for intermediate 

materials less foods and energy and for intermediate foods and feeds increased 0.2 percent and 0.4 

percent, respectively. The index for intermediate materials, supplies, and components was unchanged in 

2013 following a 0.4-percent advance in 2012. (See table B.) 

Intermediate energy: Prices for intermediate energy goods moved up 1.9 percent in December, the 

largest rise since a 3.6-percent jump in February 2013. Accounting for about sixty percent of the 

December increase, the index for diesel fuel climbed 7.9 percent. Higher prices for jet fuel and gasoline 

also were factors in the advance in the intermediate energy goods index. (See table 2.) 

Intermediate core: The index for intermediate materials less foods and energy moved up 0.2 percent in 

December compared with a 0.1-percent decline in November. Over three-quarters of the increase can be 

attributed to a 1.3-percent advance in prices for basic organic chemicals. A rise in the index for 

biological diagnostics also contributed to higher intermediate core prices. 

Intermediate foods: Prices for intermediate foods and feeds rose 0.4 percent in December subsequent 

to a 0.9-percent decrease a month earlier. Leading the advance, the index for prepared animal feeds 

moved up 2.3 percent.

Crude goods

The Producer Price Index for crude materials for further processing rose 2.4 percent in December. For 

the 3 months ended in December, prices for crude materials fell 1.1 percent following a 0.7-percent 

decrease from June to September. In December, the monthly advance was led by the index for crude 

energy materials, which jumped 6.2 percent. Higher prices for crude nonfood materials less energy also 

contributed to the increase, rising 0.6 percent. By contrast, the index for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs 

moved down 0.3 percent. (See table B.) 

Crude energy: Prices for crude energy materials advanced 6.2 percent in December. From September 

to December, the index for crude energy materials decreased 3.6 percent after increasing 3.8 percent for 

the 3 months ended in September. In December, about two-thirds of the broad-based monthly rise can be 

traced to a 7.1-percent jump in prices for crude petroleum. Increases in the indexes for natural gas and 

coal also were factors in the advance in crude energy prices. (See table 2.) 

Crude core: The index for crude nonfood materials less energy moved up 0.6 percent in December. For 

the 3 months ended in December, prices for crude nonfood materials less energy advanced 1.5 percent 

compared with a 1.3-percent decline from June to September. Most of the monthly increase in 

December is attributable to prices for carbon steel scrap, which rose 6.0 percent. Higher prices for corn 

also contributed to the advance in the crude core index. 

Crude foods: In December, prices for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs decreased 0.3 percent. From 

September to December, the crude foods index rose 0.6 percent after moving down 5.5 percent for the 3 

months ended in September. Leading the monthly decline in December, the index for slaughter barrows 

and gilts dropped 9.7 percent.

Services Analysis 

Trade industries: The Producer Price Index for the net output of total trade industries decreased 0.5 

percent in December after falling 0.6 percent in November. (Trade indexes measure changes in margins 

received by wholesalers and retailers.) Accounting for sixty percent of the December decline, margins 

received by gasoline stations with convenience stores dropped 9.0 percent. Lower margins received by 

electronics stores and by warehouse clubs and supercenters also were factors in the decrease in the total 

trade industries index. In 2013, the total trade industries index rose 0.7 percent. 

Transportation and warehousing industries: The Producer Price Index for the net output of 

transportation and warehousing industries moved up 1.0 percent in December following a 0.4-percent 

decline in November. Most of the increase can be traced to prices received by the scheduled passenger 

air transportation industry, which rose 5.7 percent. Higher prices for deep sea freight transportation and 

long-distance specialized freight trucking of new goods also contributed to the rise in the transportation 

and warehousing industries index. In 2013, the transportation and warehousing industries index 

advanced 2.1 percent. 

Services less trade, transportation, and warehousing: The Producer Price Index for the net output of 

services less trade, transportation, and warehousing inched up 0.1 percent in December, the same as in 

each of the previous two months. Over half of the December advance can be attributed to a 0.5-percent 

increase in prices received by general medical and surgical hospitals. Higher prices for portfolio 

management and passenger car rental also were factors in the rise in the index for services less trade, 

transportation, and warehousing. In 2013, the index for services less trade, transportation, and 

warehousing increased 1.6 percent.

The Producer Price Index for January 2014 is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, February 

19, 2014 at 8:30 a.m. (EST).

Producer Price Index to Transition from Stage-of-Processing to Final DemandIntermediate Demand Aggregation System 

Effective with the January 2014 PPI data release in February 2014, BLS will transition from the Stage of 

Processing (SOP) to the Final Demand-Intermediate Demand (FD-ID) aggregation system. This shift will 

result in significant changes to the PPI news release, as well as other documents available from PPI. The 

transition to the FD-ID system is the culmination of a long-standing PPI objective to improve the current 

SOP aggregation system by incorporating PPIs for services, construction, government purchases, and 

exports. In comparison to the SOP system, the FD-ID system more than doubles current PPI coverage of the 

United States economy to over 75 percent of in-scope domestic production. The FD-ID system was 

introduced as a set of experimental indexes in January 2011. Nearly all new FD-ID goods, services, and 

construction indexes provide historical data back to either November 2009 or April 2010, while the indexes 

for goods that correspond with the historical SOP indexes go back to the 1970s or earlier. 

The FD-ID system will highlight the index for final demand, which measures price changes for goods, 

services, and construction sold to final demand: personal consumption, capital investment, government 

purchases, and exports. The composition of products in the final demand price index differs from that of the 

finished goods index in two major respects. First, it includes government purchases and exports. Second, it 

includes services and construction, which are not reflected in finished goods. 

The FD-ID system also includes two separate parallel treatments of intermediate demand: price changes for 

goods, services, and construction sold to business as inputs to production. The first treatment, intermediate 

demand by commodity type, measures price changes based on similarity of product and includes aggregate 

indexes for processed goods for intermediate demand, unprocessed goods for intermediate demand, and 

services for intermediate demand. 

The second treatment, intermediate demand by production flow, is a stage-based system of price indexes, 

where price changes for goods, services, and construction can be studied as they move through the 

production chain of the economy to final demand. This treatment includes four stages of intermediate 

demand, which were established to maximize forward flow of production through the economy, while 

minimizing backflow of production. 

These FD-ID indexes are constructed using PPI commodity indexes for goods, services, and construction, 

where products are assigned to various categories according to buyer type and level of fabrication. A product 

purchased by different classes of buyers is assigned to multiple FD-ID aggregates, with unique weights 

allocated to each aggregate based on the product’s value of shipments to each buyer type. 

To assist with the transition to the FD-ID system, PPI will provide, on a monthly basis, a version of the PPI 

news release based on the FD-ID model, starting with the publication of July 2013 data in August. The 

document will be labeled “Experimental” through the December release in January 2014 and will be posted 

to the PPI Experimental Aggregation webpage about two weeks after each month’s scheduled PPI release. 

That webpage, http://www.bls.gov/ppi/experimentalaggregation.htm, also contains detailed methodological 

information for the FD-ID aggregation system. With the publication of January 2014 data in February 2014, 

the FD-ID version of the PPI news release will become the official news release document of record. 

Further information also is available from the PPI Section of Index Analysis and Public information, at ppiinfo@bls.gov or (202) 691-7705.

Recalculated Seasonal Adjustment Factors and Relative Importance Figures to be Available on 

February 14, 2014 

Each year with the release of PPI data for January, seasonal adjustment factors and relative importance 

figures are recalculated to reflect price movements from the just-completed calendar year. In accordance 

with the transition to the Final Demand-Intermediate Demand aggregation system, aggregate seasonal factor 

and relative importance data will be published on this new basis. The following seasonal adjustment 

information will be available on February 14, 2014 (2 workdays prior to the release of PPI data for January 

2014 on February 19): 

 Direct seasonal factors for commodity indexes for the year 2014, 

 Recalculated seasonal factors for the last 5 years (2009-2013) for the commodity indexes, 

 Recalculated seasonal factors for the last 5 years (2009-2013) for the final demand-intermediate demand 

indexes. 

This routine recalculation may result in revisions to seasonally adjusted indexes for the previous 5 years, 

which also will be posted on BLS website. In addition, the following relative importance tables for 

December 2013 will be available on February 14, 2014: 

 Final demand by individual commodities, 

 Final demand by component series, 

 Individual commodities of intermediate demand by commodity type, 

 Component series of intermediate demand by commodity type, 

 Individual commodities of intermediate demand by production flow, 

 Component series of intermediate demand by production flow, 

 Commodities, all levels, 

 Wherever-provided services and construction.

Technical Note 

Brief Explanation of Producer Price Indexes 

The Producer Price Index (PPI) of the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics (BLS) is a family of indexes that measure the 

average change over time in the 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 can differ due to government 

subsidies, sales and excise taxes, and distribution costs. 

 More than 9,000 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 construction, trade, finance, and services 

sectors of the economy. 

More than 100,000 price quotations per month are 

organized into three sets of PPIs: (1) Stage-of-processing 

indexes, (2) commodity indexes, and (3) indexes for the net 

output of industries and their products. The stage-ofprocessing structure organizes products by class of buyer and 

degree of fabrication. The commodity structure 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. 

Stage-of-Processing Indexes 

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, as well as nondurable goods such as apparel and 

home heating oil. Capital equipment includes 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. 

Commodity Indexes 

The commodity classification structure of the PPI 

organizes goods and services by similarity of material 

composition or end use, disregarding their industry of origin. 

Table 6 of the PPI Detailed Report includes data for 

commodity indexes, organized in a hierarchal structure, 

including major commodity groupings (two-digit commodity 

codes), subgroups (three-digit codes), product classes (fourdigit codes), subproduct classes (five- and six-digit codes), 

item groupings (seven-digit codes) and individual items 

(eight-, nine-, and ten-digit codes). 

Industry Net-Output Price Indexes 

PPIs for the net output of industries and their 

products are grouped according to the North American 

Industry Classification System (NAICS). Prior to the release 

of January 2004, industry-based PPIs were published 

according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 

system. Industry price indexes are compatible with other 

economic time series organized by industry, such as data on 

employment, wages, and productivity. Table 5 of the PPI 

Detailed Report includes data for NAICS industries and 

industry groups (3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-digit codes), Census product 

classes (7- and 8-digit codes), products (9-digit codes), and 

more detailed subproducts (11-digit codes), and, for some 

industries, indexes for other sources of revenue. 

 Indexes may represent one of three kinds of product 

categories. Every industry has primary product indexes to 

show changes in prices received by establishments classified 

in the industry for products made primarily, but not 

necessarily exclusively, by that industry. The industry 

classification of an establishment is determined by which 

products make up a plurality of its total shipment value. In 

addition, most industries have secondary product indexes that 

show changes in prices received by establishments classified 

in the industry for products chiefly made in some other 

industry. Finally, some industries have miscellaneous receipts 

indexes to show price changes in other sources of revenue 

received by establishments within the industry that are not 

derived from sales of their products—for example, resales of 

purchased materials, or revenues from parking lots owned by a 

manufacturing plant. 

Data Collection 

PPIs 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 also 

are 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 submitted by survey respondents are 

effective on the Tuesday of the week containing the 13th day 

of the month. This survey is conducted via mail, fax, and the 

Internet. 
11 

 Price data are provided on a voluntary and 

confidential basis; only sworn BLS employees are allowed 

access to individual company price reports. BLS publishes 

price indexes instead of actual prices. All PPIs are subject to 

revision 4 months after original publication to reflect the 

availability of late reports and corrections by respondents. 

 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 with the release of data for 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 industries 

introduced since the mid-1990s includes the month and year in 

which an article describing the industry’s content appeared in 

the PPI Detailed Report.

Weights

Weights for most traditional commodity groupings of 

the PPI, as well as weights for commodity-based aggregate 

indexes calculated using traditional commodity groupings, 

such as stage-of-processing indexes, currently reflect 2007 

values of shipments as reported in the Census of Manufactures

and other sources. From January 2007 through December 

2011, PPI weights were derived from 2002 shipment values. 

Industry indexes now are calculated under the 2012 NAICS 

structure utilizing 2007 value of shipment weights and 2002 
12 

net output ratios. The 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 within the industry to buyers 

outside the industry. However, weights for commodity price 

indexes are based on gross shipment values, including values 

of shipments between establishments within the same 

industry. As a result, broad commodity grouping indexes, 

such as the PPI for All Commodities (which is comprised of 

major commodity groupings 01 through 15), 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 for this defect, but industry indexes consistently 

correct for this at all levels of aggregation. Therefore, 

industry and stage-of-processing indexes are more appropriate 

than broad commodity groupings for economic analysis of 

general price trends. 

Price Index Reference Base 

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 previously 

published percent changes for affected PPI series. (See 

“Calculating Index Changes,” below.) The 1982 reference 

base is not used for commodity indexes with a base later than 

December 1981 or for industry net output indexes and their 

products. 

 For further information on the underlying concepts 

and methodology of the Producer Price Index, see chapter 14, 

“Producer Prices,” in the BLS Handbook of Methods (July 

2010). This chapter can be downloaded from the BLS Web 

site at www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch14.htm. 

Calculating Index Changes 

Each PPI measures price changes from a reference 

period that equals 100.0. 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 also can be 

expressed in dollars, as follows: prices received by domestic 

producers of a sample of finished goods have risen from $100 

in 1982 to $105.50. Likewise, a current index of 90.0 would 

indicate that prices received by producers of finished goods 

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. Index point changes are affected 

by the level of the index in relation to its base period, whereas 

percent changes are not. The following example 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, BLS publishes seasonally adjusted and 

unadjusted changes each month. Seasonally adjusted data are 

preferred for analyzing general price trends in the 

economy because these data 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 when escalating longterm contracts such as purchasing agreements or real estate 

leases. For more information, see Escalation and Producer 

Price Indexes: A Guide for Contracting Parties, BLS Report 

807, September 1991, on the Web at 

www.bls.gov/ppi/ppiescalation.htm. 

In 1998, the PPI implemented the X-12-ARIMA 

Seasonal Adjustment Method; prior to that year, the PPI 

employed the X-11 method. Each year, the seasonal status of 

most commodity indexes is reevaluated to reflect more recent 

price behavior. Industry net output indexes are not seasonally 

adjusted. For time series that exhibit seasonal pricing patterns, 

new seasonal factors are estimated and applied to the 

unadjusted data for the previous 5 years. These updated 

seasonally adjusted indexes replace the most recent 5 years of 

seasonal data. 

 Seasonal factors may be applied to series using either 

a direct or an aggregative method. Generally, commodity 

indexes are seasonally adjusted using direct seasonal 

adjustment, which produces a more complete elimination of 

seasonal movements than does the aggregative method. 

However, the direct seasonal adjustment process may not yield 

figures that possess additive consistency. Thus, a seasonally 

adjusted index for a broad category that is directly adjusted 

may not be logically consistent with all seasonally adjusted 

indexes for its components. Seasonal movements for stage-of- 
13 

processing indexes are derived indirectly through an 

aggregative method that combines movements of a wide 

variety of subproduct class (six-digit) series. 

Seasonally adjusted indexes can become problematic 

when previously stable and predictable price patterns abruptly 

change. If the new pattern persists, the seasonal adjustment 

method will eventually reflect it adequately; if the pattern 

keeps shifting, however, seasonally adjusted data will become 

chronically troublesome. This problem occurs relatively 

infrequently for farm and food-related products, but has more 

often affected manufactured products such as automobiles and 

steel. 

Since January 1988, the PPI has used Intervention 

Analysis Seasonal Adjustment methods to enhance the 

calculation of seasonal factors. With this technique, outlier 

values that may distort the seasonal pattern are removed from 

the data prior to applying the standard seasonal factor 

estimation procedure. For example, a possible economic 

cause for large price movements for petroleum-based products 

might have been the Persian Gulf War. In this case, 

intervention techniques allowed for better estimates of 

seasonally adjusted data. On the whole, very few series have 

required intervention. Out of almost 300 seasonally adjusted 

series, only 27 were subject to intervention in 2009. 

For more information relating to seasonal adjustment 

methods, see (1) “Appendix A: Seasonal Adjustment 

Methodology at BLS,” in the BLS Handbook of Methods (July 

2010) and (2) “Summary of Changes to the PPI’s Seasonal 

Adjustment Methodology” in the January 1995 issue of 

Producer Price Indexes. 

Producer Price Index Data on the Internet 

In 1995, the BLS began posting PPI series, news 

releases, and technical information to both a World Wide Web 

(WWW) site and a file transfer protocol (FTP) site. During 

the years following the introduction of PPI Internet services, 

use of these sites eclipsed more traditional methods of data 

dissemination, such as subscriptions to the PPI Detailed 

Report. There were more than 2.1 million instances of PPI 

series being downloaded from the Internet during the 12 

months ended December 31, 2008. 

Retrieving PPI data from the PPI Web site 

PPI data can be obtained from the WWW address 

(www.bls.gov/ppi). Clicking on the “PPI Databases” link 

reveals the following methods of data retrieval: 

• Top Picks is a form-based application for both 

Industry Data and Commodity Data that allows the 

user to quickly obtain PPI time series data by 

selecting the most commonly requested time series, 

including the All Commodities Index and the stageof-processing indexes (for example, Finished 

Goods).Within each list, any one—or all—of the time 

series shown can be selected. A user can modify the 

 date range and output options after executing the 

query, using the reformat button above the data 

output table. 

• One-Screen Data Search and Multi-Screen Data 

Search are form-based query applications for both 

Industry Data and Commodity Data designed for 

users unfamiliar with the PPI coding structure. These 

applications guide a user through the PPI 

classification system by listing index titles and do not 

require knowledge of commodity or industry codes. 

Data retrieved are based on a query formulated by 

selecting data characteristics from lists provided. 

Two options are available to create customized 

tables, depending on a user’s browser capability. The 

one-screen option is a JavaScript application that uses 

a single screen to guide a user through the available 

time series data. The second option is a multiplescreen, non-Java-based application. Both methods 

allow a user to browse the PPI coding structure and 

select multiple series codes. Users can modify the 

date range and output options after executing the 

query using the reformat button above the data output 

table. 

• Series Report is a form-based application that uses 

formatted PPI time series identifiers (commodity or 

industry codes) as input in extracting data according 

to a specified set of date ranges and output options. 

This application provides the most efficient path for 

users who are familiar with the format of PPI time 

series identifiers. Up to 300 indexes can be extracted 

at a time. 

 There are five alphabetic prefixes used to 

create unique PPI time series identifiers: WP, WD, 

PC, PD, and ND. Each provides the user access to a 

different PPI database. Adding either a “u” (not 

seasonally adjusted) or an “s” (seasonally adjusted) to 

the end of these prefixes further specifies the type of 

data needed. 

EXAMPLES 

For commodity and stage-of-processing indexes, 

series identifiers combine a “wpu” prefix (not 

seasonally adjusted) or a “wps” prefix (seasonally 

adjusted) with a commodity code. 

Commodity code Provides data for:

wps141101 Passenger cars, seasonally 

adjusted 

wpu141101 Passenger cars, not 

seasonally adjusted 

wpusop3000 Finished goods, not 

seasonally adjusted 
14 

For discontinued commodity indexes, series 

identifiers combine a “wdu” prefix (not seasonally 

adjusted) or a “wds” prefix (seasonally adjusted) with 

a commodity code. 

Commodity code Provides data for:

wds019 Other farm products, 

seasonally adjusted 

wdu0635 Preparations, ethical 

(prescription), not 

seasonally adjusted 

wdusi138011 Stainless steel mill 

products, not seasonally 

adjusted 

Current price indexes grouped by industry 

according to NAICS have series identifiers that 

begin with the prefix “pcu.” After the prefix, there 

are 12 digits (the 6-digit industry code is listed twice) 

followed by up to 7 alphanumeric characters 

identifying product detail. Dashes are used as 

placeholders for higher-level industry group codes. 

Industry-product code, 

current NAICS series Provides data for:

pcu325---325--- Chemical manufacturing, 

not seasonally adjusted 

pcu336110336110 Automobile and light duty 

motor vehicle 

manufacturing 

pcu621111621111411 Offices of physicians, oneand two-physician 

practices and singlespecialty group practices, 

general/family practice 

pcu325412325412A Pharmaceutical 

preparation 

manufacturing, 

pharmaceuticals acting on 

the respiratory system 

 

Discontinued industry-product codes based on 

SIC combine a “pdu” prefix and “#” between the 

fourth and fifth characters of the product code. 

Series identifiers for the discontinued dataset use 

underscores as placeholders to complete a reference 

to an SIC industry group code of fewer than four 

digits. (All PPI industry-based indexes organized by 

SIC were discontinued with the introduction of 

NAICS.) 

Industry-product code,

discontinued SIC series Provides data for:

pdu28_ _# Chemicals and allied 

products, not seasonally 

adjusted 

pdu331_# Blast furnaces, steel 

works, and rolling and 

finishing mills, not 

seasonally adjusted 

pdu3711#111 Passenger cars 

Price indexes for discontinued series grouped by 

industry according to NAICS have identifiers that 

begin with the prefix “ndu.” After the prefix, there 

are 12 numeric digits (the 6-digit industry code is 

listed twice), and up to 7 additional alphanumeric 

characters that identify product detail. Dashes are 

used as placeholders for higher-level industry group 

codes.
