The Producer Price Index for final demand rose 0.2 percent in October, seasonally adjusted, the

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. This increase followed a 0.1-percent decline in

September and no change in August. On an unadjusted basis, the index for final demand

advanced 1.5 percent for the 12 months ended in October, the smallest 12-month increase since a

1.2-percent rise in February 2014. (See table A.)

 

In October, the 0.2-percent rise in final demand prices can be traced to the index for final

demand services, which advanced 0.5 percent. In contrast, prices for final demand goods moved

down 0.4 percent.

 

Within intermediate demand, prices for processed goods declined 0.9 percent, the index for

unprocessed goods fell 2.4 percent, and prices for services inched up 0.1 percent. (See tables B

and C.)
