  • Price Movements April 1980

    The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods moved up 0.5 percent from March to April on a seasonally ad-justed basis. This was much less than in any month during the first quarter of 1980 and was the smallest rise since last May. Prices for intermediate (semifinished) goods edged up 0.1 percent, the smallest increase since July 1977. Crude material prices dropped 3.5 percent, the third decline in the last 4 months (table A).

    Among finished goods, consumer food prices fell 2.8 percent after advancing 1.1 percent in March and decreas-ing in January and February. Prices for finished energy goods rose 3.8 percent, following 2 months of increases of more than 7 percent. The index for consumer goods other than food and energy increased 0.6 percent, more than in March but much less than in either January or February. Capital equipment prices climbed 1.9 percent, more than twice as much as in either of the 2 preceding months (table B).

    Before seasonal adjustment, the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods rose 0.8 percent to 240.0 (1967=100). Over the year, the Finished Goods Price Index increased 13.5 percent. Prices for finished energy goods climbed 81.3 percent from April 1979 to April 1980, prices for finished consumer foods edged up 0.4 percent, the index for finished consumer goods other than food and energy rose 11.5 percent, and capital equipment prices advanced 10.2 percent. The Producer Price Index for intermediate materials was 16.4 percent higher than a year ago, and crude material prices were up 6.1 percent.

    offset advances for nonfood goods, primarily energy goods.

    The index for finished foods fell 2.8 percent after ris-ing 1.1 percent in March. Much of the turnaround was caused by sharply lower prices for beef and veal (down 8.7 percent), pork (down 7.8 percent), and poultry (down 5.0 percent). Prices turned down after advancing in March for eggs, fish, milled rice, and vegetable oil end products. Prices fell more than in the previous month for refined sugar in consumer size packages, roasted coffee, and fresh fruits. Fresh and dried vegetable prices rose only slightly after a substantial advance in March. On the other hand, prices rose faster than in March for dairy products and tea.

    Prices for energy goods increased 3.8 percent in April, after rising 7.5 and 7.2 percent in February and March, respectively. Price increases for both gasoline and home heating oil (up 4.3 and 3.0 percent, respectively) were much smaller than in either of the 2 preceding months. The index for finished consumer goods other than food and energy rose 0.6 percent, somewhat more than the 0.4 percent rise in March. Sharp declines for gold jewelry (down 9.8 percent) and household flatware (down 27.7 percent) were more than offset by advances for a broad range of other products, particularly passenger cars, cos-metics, pharmaceutical preparations, silver and costume jewelry, nonalcoholic beverages, household furniture, and mobile homes.

    Capital equipment The index for capital equipment rose

    1.9 percent, more than in any other month since October 1974. Price increases accelerated for most types of capital equipment. The largest advances occurred for motor trucks, plastic and rubber industry machinery, construction machinery, machine tools, oilfield machinery, agricultural machinery, and electric generators.

    Intermediate materials The Producer Price Index for intermediate materials,

    supplies, and components edged up 0.1 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis, following steep climbs in January and February (up 2.8 and 1.8 percent, respectively) and a 0.5 percent increase in March. The rate of advance for energy products slowed dramatically for the second con-secutive month, construction material prices turned down, and prices for nonferrous metals and for foods and feeds declined about as sharply as in March.

    The intermediate energy index rose 0.9 percent, less than in any month since February 1979. Prices for residual fuel and liquefied petroleum gas were lower following slight increases in March. Prices for diesel fuel and commercial jet fuel continued to climb, but not as much as in any of the first 3 months of the year.

    The intermediate foods and feeds index fell 2.7 percent, following a 3.0 percent decrease in March. Prices continued to decline sharply for feeds, vegetable oils, and animal fats and oils. On the other hand, prices for refined sugar used in food manufacturing turned up after falling in March, and corn syrup prices continued to increase substantially.

    The index for intermediate materials less food and

  • energy rose 0.2 percent, about the same as in March but much less than in any other-month in over 2 years. The durable manufacturing materials category fell 1.9 percent, about the same as in March. Considerably lower prices were recorded for silver (down 51.5 percent), gold, copper, lead, tin, zinc, hardwood lumber, and jewelers' materials. In contrast, prices for finished steel mill products and primary aluminum both rose about 3 percent.

    The construction materials index edged down 0.2 percent, following sharp advances during the first quarter of 1980. Prices fell sharply for softwood lumber, millwork, and plywood as a consequence of weaker demand from the housing construction market. Nonferrous wire and cable prices dropped due to lower copper prices. However, large increases were registered for fabricated structural metal products, bituminous paving materials, concrete products, structural clay products, prepared paint, and valves and fittings.

    The nondurable manufacturing materials category advanced 1.5 percent, more than in either of the 2 previous months. Substantial increases occurred for several petroleum-derived products, including industrial chemicals, plastic resins and materials, and synthetic rubber. Prices also rose sharply for woodpulp, processed yarns and threads, finished fabrics, and adhesive resins. On the other hand, price increases slowed for phosphates and nitrog-enates following several months of rapid advances. Prices for leather and inedible fats and oils fell for the third con-secutive month.

    In the manufacturing components category, prices rose substantially for electronic components, locks, internal combustion engines, mechanical power transmission equip-ment, ball and roller bearings, and fluid power equipment. Among other intermediate goods, large increases were recorded for metal containers, paper boxes and containers, cutting tools, machine tool parts, abrasive products, min-

    ing machinery parts, and tractor and farm machinery parts. On the other hand, photographic supply prices turned down in response to the falling price of silver.

    Crude materials The Producer Price Index for crude materials for further

    processing declined 3.5 percent in April on a seasonally ad-justed basis, following a 2.2 percent decrease in March. Prices for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs decreased more than in the preceding month; crude nonfood material prices also fell but less than in the previous month.

    The index for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs fell 6.1 percent in April, considerably more than the 2.7 percent drop in March. The April decline was the largest since June 1974. livestock prices fell more than 10.0 percent, markedly more than in the previous month. Prices for grains, soybeans, live poultry, and cocoa beans also fell sharply. Green coffee prices turned down after rising in both February and March. In contrast, prices for raw cane sugar climbed 16 percent, following a 26.4 percent decline in March. Fluid milk prices rose more than in any month since last June.

    The index for crude nonfood materials less energy de-clined 5.1 percent, about the same as in March. Prices for scrap metals dropped substantially for the second con-secutive month, and hides and skins fell more than 10 percent for the third consecutive month. Natural rubber prices also moved down. On the other hand, prices for cotton and wastepaper turned up following March declines. Iron ore prices also rose.

    Prices for crude energy materials rose 2.1 percent, more than the 0.6 percent advance in March. Natural gas prices turned up following a slight decrease in March, and crude petroleum prices increased more than in the previous month.

  • Data from the Producer Price Index Revision

    Indexes for five more industries are now being calculated under the comprehensive program to revise the Producer Price Indexes. Beginning with data for 1980, output price indexes are available for these industries, as well as for selected product classes and products included in each industry. These data are published in this report in table 4. The industries are:

  • The revision program now covers 21 industries which account for 6.0 percent of all mining and manufacturing production.

    Traditional commodity price indexes and Industry-Sector Price Indexes (ISPI's) will continue to be published. However, those traditional indexes which correspond to new indexes published in the revision program are now based on the movements of the corresponding revision indexes. (See tables C and D.) As new industries are pub-lished, their product indexes will also be used in the tradi-tional commodity and ISPI structures. In 1983, an entire-ly new structure will replace the traditional commodity structure as the primary vehicle for reporting and analyz-ing price changes at the primary market level.

    36512 Television receivers, including combination models

    The new indexes calculated for the PPI revision differ from traditional commodity price indexes and ISPI's

    in several important respects: (1) Coverage will eventually be expanded to include

    all production in mining and manufacturing industries, whereas traditional commodity indexes have covered only about half of this value.

    (2) New indexes are classified according to the widely used Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) and incorpor-ate most features of the Census of Manufactures product code extensions of the SIC. Traditional commodity price indexes are grouped by a classification structure unique to BLS and are therefore difficult to use with industry-oriented economic data.

    (3) New indexes use net output values of shipments as weights rather than gross output values. Net output values refer to the value to shipments leaving the industry and thus exclude intra-industry shipments. Therefore, new indexes consistently eliminate multiple counting of price changes at successive stages of processing. (Net output weights are not used, however, for traditional commodity indexes whose movements are based on corresponding new indexes.)

    (4) New indexes emphasize actual transaction prices at time of shipment to minimize the use of list prices and order prices which occasionally have been used in tradi-tional commodity price indexes and ISPI's.

    (5) New indexes are based on prices reported for a broader range of products and by companies of all sizes selected by probability sampling methods rather than by a judgement of volume-selling products and major producers.

    See Technical Note, "Data from the Producer Price Index Revision," at the back of this publication for further detail.

    1 Comprehensive relative importance figures are computed once each year In December. Data shown are expressed as a percent of total finished goods, total in-termediate materials, or total crude materials. Data shown will not add up to 100.000 because not all commodity components of each stage-of-processlng (SOP) index are shown; relative importance figures shown account for about 87 percent of total finished goods, about 89 percent of total Intermediate materials, and about 98 percent of total crude materials. For each commodity component of the Finished Goods index which Is allocated to both capital equipment and finished consumer goods excluding foods, the

    relative importance figure shown reflects only the share allocated to the SOP grouping under which it is listed. For example, the relative importance figure shown for household furniture under the SOP grouping for finished consumer goods excluding foods includes the share allocated to that SOP grouping but not the share allocated to capital equip-ment.
