The Producer Price Index for final demand was unchanged in August, seasonally adjusted, the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Final demand prices advanced 0.1 percent in July
and 0.4 percent in June. On an unadjusted basis, the index for final demand increased 1.8 percent
for the 12 months ended in August. (See table A.)
In August, a 0.3-percent rise in prices for final demand services offset a 0.3-percent decrease in
the index for final demand goods.
Within intermediate demand, prices for processed goods fell 0.3 percent, the index for
unprocessed goods declined 3.3 percent, and prices for services moved up 0.2 percent. (See
