Producer Price Indexes – June 2009
The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods rose 1.8 percent in June, seasonally adjusted, the Bureau
of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. This advance followed increases of 0.2
percent in May and 0.3 percent in April. At the earlier stages of processing, prices received by producers of
intermediate goods climbed 1.9 percent in June after moving up 0.3 percent in the preceding month, and the
crude goods index increased 4.6 percent following a 3.6-percent rise in May. (See table A.)
The June acceleration in finished goods prices was broad based. The index for energy goods jumped 6.6
percent after advancing 2.9 percent in the prior month, prices for consumer foods increased 1.1 percent
following a 1.6-percent drop in May, and the index for goods other than foods and energy rose 0.5 percent in
June after edging down 0.1 percent in the previous month.
From June 2008 to December 2008, finished goods prices fell 6.2 percent, seasonally adjusted. By
contrast, from December 2008 to June 2009, the finished goods index increased 2.1 percent. During the first 6
months of 2009, the finished goods index climbed at a 4.2-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) after
declining at a 12.1-percent SAAR during the second half of 2008. This upturn is attributable to prices for
finished energy goods, which increased at an 18.8-percent SAAR from December 2008 to June 2009 after
falling at a 52.9-percent SAAR in the 6 months ended December 2008. By contrast, the index for finished
goods other than foods and energy advanced at a 2.0-percent SAAR for the 6 months ended in June after rising
at a 4.7-percent SAAR during the prior 6-month period. Prices for finished consumer foods moved down at a
2.3-percent SAAR during the first half of 2009 after decreasing at a 1.8-percent SAAR during the second half of
2008. Earlier in the production chain, the intermediate goods index declined at a 1.6-percent SAAR from
December 2008 to June 2009 after falling at a 22.1-percent SAAR during the latter half of 2008, and prices for
crude goods increased at a 5.2-percent SAAR for the 6 months ended in June after dropping at a 66.0-percent
SAAR for the 6 months ended December 2008. (See summary table.)
Before seasonal adjustment, the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods rose 1.9 percent in June to
174.1 (1982 = 100). From June 2008 to June 2009, finished goods prices declined 4.6 percent. Over the same
period, the index for finished energy goods fell 25.2 percent and prices for finished consumer foods decreased
2.2 percent. By contrast, partially offsetting the overall decline in finished goods prices, the index for finished
goods other than foods and energy increased 3.3 percent for the 12 months ended in June. At the earlier stages
of processing, prices received by manufacturers of intermediate goods moved down 12.5 percent and the crude
goods index dropped 40.0 percent from June 2008 to June 2009.

Finished goods
The index for finished energy goods climbed 6.6 percent in June following a 2.9-percent advance in
May. Gasoline prices jumped 18.5 percent after rising 13.9 percent in the preceding month. The indexes for
home heating oil, liquefied petroleum gas, diesel fuel, and kerosene also advanced more in June than they had a
month earlier. Prices for residential natural gas turned up after falling in May. By contrast, the index for
residential electric power decreased 0.9 percent in June following a 0.3-percent decline in the prior month.
Prices for finished lubricants also fell more than they had in May. (See table 2.)
The index for finished consumer foods increased 1.1 percent in June after falling 1.6 percent in May.
More than half of this upturn can be traced to prices for fresh and dry vegetables, which surged 21.8 percent
following a 20.9-percent drop in the previous month. The indexes for eggs for fresh use; bottled carbonated soft
drinks; bakery products; and natural, processed, and imitation cheese also turned up in June. Prices for

edging up 0.1 percent in May. Prices for pharmaceutical preparations, cosmetics and toilet preparations, and

Prices for materials and components for construction were unchanged after edging down 0.1 percent in
the prior month. In June, price increases for asphalt felts and coatings, ready-mixed concrete, nonferrous
metals, softwood lumber, and millwork were offset by falling prices for structural, architectural, and pre-

The intermediate foods and feeds index advanced 1.3 percent for the second consecutive month. In
June, higher prices for prepared animal feeds, processed young chickens, flour and flour base mixes and
doughs, bulk fluid milk and cream, and bottled carbonated soft drinks outweighed lower prices for beef and
veal, shortening and cooking oils, and pork. The index for intermediate foods and feeds edged up at a 0.2-

December 2008.
Crude goods
The Producer Price Index for Crude Materials for Further Processing increased 4.6 percent in June
compared with a 3.6-percent gain in May. Prices for crude energy materials advanced more than they had in the

nonfood materials less energy increased less than in May, and prices for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs turned
down in June after rising a month earlier. (See table B.)
The index for crude energy materials rose 10.9 percent in June subsequent to a 5.3-percent advance in

Producer Price Index data for July 2009 are scheduled to be released on Tuesday, August 18, 2009 at 8:30 a.m.
(EDT).
PPI Introduces Wherever Provided Services Indexes
Effective with the release of July 2009 data on August 18, 2009, the Producer Price Index (PPI) program
will begin publishing Wherever Provided (WEP) Services indexes. Similar to current PPI commodity indexes,
the new WEP service indexes are constructed with pricing information collected from PPI’s industry-based
survey, aggregated on a service-specific basis rather than by industry of origin. Therefore, the WEP services
indexes measure price changes for specific services, regardless of the type of companies providing the services.
Since the WEP services indexes are conceptually similar to traditional PPI commodity indexes, they will
be included in Table 6 of the PPI Detailed Report, with major WEP services grouping codes ranging from 30
through 80.
Since the WEP services indexes do not include data for physical products, they will not contribute to the
PPI’s current Stage-of-Processing structure.
Further information is available from the PPI Section of Index Analysis and Public Information, at ppi-
[email protected] or (202) 691-7705.
PPI Expands Commodity Code Detail
Effective with the release of July 2009 data on August 18, 2009, the Producer Price Index (PPI) program
will have the capability to publish commodity indexes at a greater level of detail than previously has been
available. As such, the July 2009 data release will include some newly introduced commodity indexes
associated with 9-digit or 10-digit commodity codes. (The maximum code length permitted for commodity
indexes will become 12 digits.) These indexes will be available in both the PPI Detailed Report and on the BLS
website at www.bls.gov/ppi, using the current commodity data retrieval tools.
7
PPI Updates Industry Net Output Ratios
Effective with the release of August 2009 data on September 15, 2009, the Producer Price Index (PPI)
program will update the net output ratios used to calculate industry indexes based on the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS). With this update, net output ratios will be based on 2002 Input-
Output Account data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Net
output ratios represent the proportion of an industry's or industry grouping’s output consumed outside its
respective area. Prior to this update, net output ratios for calculating NAICS-based PPIs reflected values from
BEA 1997 Input-Output Accounts. This update does not affect commodity-grouping indexes from the PPI.
Upcoming Changes to the Producer Price Index News Release
Effective with the August 2009 Producer Price Index (PPI) News Release scheduled for September 15,
2009, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will introduce changes in the presentation of the text section of the release.
There will be no changes to the format and content of the tables. A sample of the revamped PPI News Release
will be posted on the BLS website on Friday August 14. For further information, please see
