The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods declined 0.9 percent in July, seasonally
adjusted, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. This
decrease followed advances of 1.8 percent in June and 0.2 percent in May. At the earlier stages
of processing, prices received by manufacturers of intermediate goods moved down 0.2 percent
in July after rising 1.9 percent in the prior month, and the crude goods index fell 4.5 percent
following a 4.6-percent increase in June. (See table A.)
The downturn in finished goods prices was broad based. The index for energy goods fell
2.4 percent in July after climbing 6.6 percent a month earlier, prices for consumer foods
decreased 1.5 percent following a 1.1-percent advance in the previous month, and the index for
goods other than foods and energy edged down 0.1 percent compared with a 0.5-percent rise in
June.
