Price Movements September 1979

Summary The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods moved up

1.4 percent from August to September on a seasonally adjusted basis. During the third quarter this index advanced at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1S.7 percent, com-pared with a 6.8 percent rate in the previous 3 months and a 14.3 percent rate in the first quarter of the year. Prices for intermediate (semifinished) goods continued to rise at a rapid pace (1.5 percent). Crude material prices rose 2.1 percent, substantially more than in recent months (table A). Among finished goods, the index for finished energy

goods climbed 6.8 percent, even more than the 6.2 and 5.8 percent advances in July and August, respectively. (The September index for finished energy goods largely reflects August prices because most prices are lagged 1 month.) Consumer food prices rose 1.8 percent, following a 1.2 percent increase in August and no change in July. The

index for finished consumer goods less food and energy, however, rose slightly less (0.7 percent) than in either of the 2 preceding months, and, for the second consecutive month, capital equipment prices rose much less than in any of the first 7 months of the year (table B).

Before seasonal adjustment, the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods moved up 1.4 percent to 220.4 (1967=100). Over the year, the Finished Goods Price Index increased 11.8 percent. The finished energy goods index was up 55.9 percent from September 1978 to September 1979, the finished consumer foods index rose 8.8 percent, the index for finished consumer goods other than food and energy was 8.4 percent higher than a year ago, and capital equipment prices were up 8.3 percent. The Producer Price Index for intermediate goods increased 14.6 percent over the year, and prices for crude materials advanced 17.6 percent.

Finished goods Finished consumer goods. The Producer Price Index for

finished consumer goods (those eventually sold to retailers) rose 1.8 percent from August to September on a seasonally adjusted basis, after rising 1.6 percent a month earlier. During the third quarter, these prices rose at an annual rate of 20.3 percent, compared with a 6.1 percent annual rate in the second quarter and a 16.0 percent annual rate in the first quarter.

The finished consumer foods index rose 1.8 percent in September, after increasing 1.2 percent in August. This index rose sharply in the first quarter, declined in the second quarter, and turned up again in the quarter ended in September. Beef and veal prices rose sharply in September following 4 months of decline, and prices for pork rose for the second consecutive month following 5 consecutive decreases. Large increases were also recorded for milled rice, roasted coffee, processed poultry, and bakery products. Prices declined sharply for fresh and dried fruits and vegetables, which had advanced rapidly in the previous month.

The index for consumer nondurables other than foods advanced 2.5 percent in September, about the same as in August. For the quarter ending in September, this index rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 34.0 percent, the steepest rise since early 1974. As in most months this year, the September rise was due in large part to sharp advances for finished energy goods. Since December 1978, prices for home heating ofl and gasoline increased at sea-

sonally adjusted annual rates of 92.1 and 62.1 percent, respectively. Large price increases were also registered in September for tires and tubes, disposable plastic dinner-ware, soaps and synthetic detergents, textile housefurnish-ings, nonalcoholic beverages, and pharmaceutical prepara-tions. On the other hand, rubber footwear prices dropped for the first time this year, and leather footwear prices rose much less than in recent months.

The index for consumer durables rose 0.7 percent in September, compared with a 0.5 percent rise in August. During the third quarter this index moved up a 9.2 percent seasonally adjusted annual rate, about the same as in the first half of the year. Passenger car prices declined for the second consecutive month; however, these decreases were more than offset by increases for precious metal jewelry, household flatware, sporting and athletic goods, and mobile homes.

Capital equipment. The index for capital equipment increased 0.3 in September, slightly more than in August (0.1 percent). Prices for capital equipment rose at a 4.9 percent annual rate in the third quarter, the smallest quarterly increase in 6 years. In September, prices for photographic equipment, machine tools, generators and generator sets, agricultural machinery, and industrial process furnaces and ovens advanced rapidly; however, lower prices for light trucks caused the motor trucks index to decline for the third consecutive month, and light utility aircraft prices turned down for the first time this year.

Intermediate materials The Ptoducer Price Index for intermediate materials,

supplies, and components advanced 1.5 percent seasonally adjusted in September, following increases of 1.2 percent in August and 1.9 percent in July. Durable manufacturing materials and construction materials rose much more than in August, while the rapid energy price increases of recent months moderated somewhat.

The durable manufacturing materials category advanced 1.6 percent, more than twice as much as in August. The September acceleration was primarily caused by steep increases for precious metals and jeweler's materials and findings (up 23.5 and 12.4 percent, respectively). Advances were also registered for copper, tin, aluminum, foundry and forge shop products, and laminated plastic sheets.

The construction materials and components index also rose more than twice as much as in August (1.1 vs. 0.5 percent). Prices for plywood, asphalt roofing, and bitu-minous paving materials turned up sharply after falling in August. Prices also rose for softwood lumber, nonferrous wire and cable, heating equipment, wiring devices, building paper and board, concrete products, and gypsum products. Refractories prices were lower, however.

The processed fuels and lubricants index increased 4.4 percent, following a 5.2 percent rise in August. This slow-down was due to smaller advances for residual fuel, com-mercial jet fuel, and electric power. However, prices con-tinued to climb rapidly for diesel fuel, liquefied petroleum gas, and lubricating oil materials.

The nondurable manufacturing materials index rose 1.2 percent, the same as in the previous month. Accelerating price increases were registered for synthetic fibers, proc-essed yarns and threads, paint materials, nitrogenates, and phosphates. On the other hand, synthetic rubber prices moved up slightly following 5 months of much larger increases. Prices for industrial chemicals and paperboard also advanced less than in August. Leather prices declined 10 percent, and inedible fats and oils turned down after an August advance.

Prices for a number of other intermediate nonfood nonenergy items increased, including rubber products,

internal combustion engines, electronic components and accessories, refrigerant compressors, and mixed fertilizers. In contrast, parts for metal forming maching tools turned down.

The intermediate foods and feeds index moved up 0.8 percent, following a drop in August and a sharp increase in July. Prices for crude vegetable oils advanced, but flour and confectionery materials prices declined.

Grade materials The Producer Price Index for crude materials for further

processing rose 2.1 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis, following a 0.1 percent upward movement in the preceding month. The acceleration was largely due to sharper in-creases for crude energy materials and an upturn in prices of crude foodstuffs. The index for crude energy materials advanced 4.7 percent over the month, following increases of 2.6 and 2.7 percent in July and August, respectively. A steep rise in the crude petroleum index (up 9.4 percent) caused most of the acceleration in September. Natural gas prices rose somewhat more than in most recent months.

The index for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs increased 1.5 percent, in contrast to a 0.2 percent decline in August. Hog prices climbed nearly 10 percent, following several months of decreases. Cattle prices turned up sharply after falling in each of the 4 previous months. Fluid milk prices also rose after declining in August. Soybean prices rose but less than in the preceding month. Live poultry prices turned down after rising in August. Wheat, green coffee, and cocoa bean prices also fell but much less than in the previous month.

Among other crude materials, prices for copper base scrap advanced sharply following 2 months of smaller increases. Higher prices were also registered for potash, cotton, and sand, gravel, and crushed stone. On the other hand, prices for hides and skins and aluminum base scrap fell steeply. Natural rubber prices turned down after a small August increase, and leaf tobacco and wastepaper prices dropped for the second consecutive month.
