PRODUCER PRICE INDEXES – JANUARY 2010
The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods rose 1.4 percent in January, seasonally adjusted, the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. This increase followed a 0.4-percent advance in December
and a 1.5-percent rise in November. In January, at the earlier stages of processing, prices received by
manufacturers of intermediate goods climbed 1.7 percent, and the crude goods index jumped 9.6
percent. On an unadjusted basis, prices for finished goods moved up 4.6 percent for the 12 months ended
January 2010, their third consecutive 12-month increase. (See table A.)

2 Stage-of-Processing Analysis
Finished goods
About three-fourths of the broad-based January advance in the finished goods index can be traced to
higher prices for energy goods, which jumped 5.1 percent. The indexes for finished goods less foods and
energy and for finished consumer foods also contributed to the finished goods increase, rising 0.3
percent and 0.4 percent, respectively.
Finished energy: The index for finished energy goods rose 5.1 percent in January, its fourth
consecutive monthly increase. About two-thirds of the January advance can be attributed to an 11.5percent jump in gasoline prices. Increases in the indexes for liquefied petroleum gas and home heating
oil also were major factors in the finished energy goods rise. (See table 2.)
Finished core: The index for finished goods less foods and energy moved up 0.3 percent in January
after no change in December. Leading this advance, the index for light motor trucks rose 1.9 percent.
Higher prices for pharmaceutical preparations also contributed to the increase in the finished core index.
Finished foods: The index for finished consumer foods moved up 0.4 percent in January, its fourth
consecutive monthly advance. A major factor in the January rise was a 3.0-percent increase in meat
prices.
Intermediate goods
The Producer Price Index for Intermediate Materials, Supplies, and Components climbed 1.7 percent in
January, its largest increase since a similar 1.7-percent advance in August 2009. Accounting for about
three-fourths of the January rise, prices for intermediate energy goods jumped 6.9 percent. The index for
intermediate materials less foods and energy also contributed to this advance, increasing 0.5 percent. By
contrast, prices for intermediate foods and feeds fell 0.3 percent. On a 12-month basis, prices for
intermediate goods moved up 4.6 percent, the second consecutive month of year-over-year increases.
(See table B.)
Intermediate energy: The index for intermediate energy goods rose 6.9 percent in January, the largest
increase since a 9.6-percent jump in November 2007. A major factor in the January advance was a 20.4percent surge in diesel fuel prices. The indexes for gasoline and jet fuel also contributed significantly to
higher intermediate energy goods prices. (See table 2.)
Intermediate core: The index for intermediate materials less foods and energy moved up 0.5 percent,
its eighth consecutive monthly increase. Nearly half of the January advance can be attributed to a 3.4percent rise in basic organic chemical prices. An increase in the steel pipe and tube index also was a
factor in the intermediate core advance.
Intermediate foods: The index for intermediate foods and feeds fell 0.3 percent, the first decline in six
months. This decrease was led by the index for corn, cottonseed, and soybean cake and meal, which
dropped 7.5 percent.

4 Crude goods
The Producer Price Index for Crude Materials for Further Processing climbed 9.6 percent in January.
For the 3-month period ending in January, crude material prices rose 16.1 percent, accelerating from an
8.5-percent increase for the 3 months ended October 2009. In January, about three-quarters of the broadbased monthly advance is attributable to a 16.8-percent jump in prices for crude energy materials. Also
contributing to the January increase, in roughly equal proportions, the index for crude nonfood materials
less energy rose 6.6 percent and prices for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs moved up 3.2 percent. (See
table B.)
Crude energy: The index for crude energy materials jumped 16.8 percent in January. From October
through January, prices for crude energy materials climbed 27.5 percent, following a 9.4-percent gain
for the 3 months ended October 2009. Two-thirds of the monthly January increase can be traced to a
25.5-percent surge in the natural gas index. Higher crude petroleum prices also contributed to the rise in
the index for crude energy materials. (See table 2.)
Crude core: The index for crude nonfood materials less energy advanced 6.6 percent in January. For
the 3 months ending in January, crude core prices moved up 10.2 percent, compared with a 12.1-percent
rise for the 3 months ended October 2009. Over half of January’s over-the-month increase is attributable
to a 17.3-percent jump in the index for iron and steel scrap. Higher prices for nonferrous scrap and
wastepaper also were factors in the January increase for the crude core index.
Crude foods: The index for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs moved up 3.2 percent in January. For the 3
month period ending in January, prices for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs rose 7.9 percent, after
advancing 5.1 percent for the 3 months ended October 2009. Most of the January increase can be traced
to a 5.8-percent rise in the index for slaughter livestock.

Services Analysis
Trade industries: The Producer Price Index for the Net Output of Total Trade Industries fell 0.5
percent in January, its second consecutive decline. (Trade indexes measure changes in margins received
by wholesalers and retailers.) About two-thirds of the January decrease is attributable to a 9.3-percent
drop in margins received by gasoline stations. Margins received by general merchandise stores and
home centers also fell in January, contributing significantly to the decline in the total trade industries
index.
Transportation and warehousing industries: The Producer Price Index for the Net Output of
Transportation and Warehousing Industries jumped 1.3 percent in January, its fourth straight advance.
Accounting for about forty percent of the January increase, prices received by the couriers industry rose
6.0 percent. Higher prices received by the air transportation industry group and the industry for pipeline
transportation of crude oil also were major factors in the January advance in the transportation and
warehousing industries index.
Traditional service industries: The Producer Price Index for the Net Output of Total Traditional
Service Industries moved up 1.0 percent in January, its ninth advance in the last ten months. Almost half
of the January rise can be traced to a 4.9-percent increase in prices received by the depository credit
intermediation industry group. Higher prices received by insurance carriers and offices of physicians
also contributed to the advance in the total traditional service industries index.
____________
The Producer Price Index for February 2010 is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, March
17, 2010 at 8:30 a.m. (EDT).
***** Resampling of Industries
Effective with this release, the Producer Price Index (PPI) includes data for 65 resampled industries and
one newly introduced industry classified according to the North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS). The Bureau of Labor Statistics periodically updates the sample of producers providing
data for the PPI to reflect current conditions more accurately when the structure, membership,
technology, or product mix of an industry shifts. The first results of this systematic process were
published in July 1986. Subsequent efforts have been completed at 6-month intervals.
For information on specific index additions, deletions, and recodes that are effective with this
semiannual update, see the January 2010 issue of the PPI Detailed Report online at

9 Recalculation of Seasonal Adjustment Factors
Effective with this release, seasonal adjustment factors have been recalculated to reflect price-movement
patterns during 2009 for stage-of-processing (SOP) and commodity-grouping indexes. This routine
annual recalculation may affect previously published seasonally adjusted indexes and percent changes
for January 2005 through December 2009. Revised seasonally adjusted data for this period, as well as
seasonal adjustment factors for commodity indexes to be used through December 2010, were released
February 16, 2010. To obtain this information, contact the Division of Industrial Prices and Price
Indexes, Section of Index Analysis and Public Information at [email protected] or (202) 691-7705, or
visit the Producer Price Index homepage at www.bls.gov/ppi.
The table below provides monthly seasonally adjusted percent changes for the three major SOP
categories during 2009, based on former and recalculated seasonal factors. These percent changes
include final price data through August 2009 and may differ from values shown in tables A and B of this
release, which include final price data through September 2009.

Technical Note
Brief Explanation of Producer Price Indexes
Commodity Indexes
The Producer Price Index (PPI) of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) is a family of indexes that measure the
average change over time in the prices received by domestic
producers of goods and services. PPIs measure price change
from the perspective of the seller. This contrasts with other
measures, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI). CPIs
measure price change from the purchaser’s perspective.
Sellers’ and purchasers’ prices can differ due to government
subsidies, sales and excise taxes, and distribution costs.
More than 9,000 PPIs for individual products and
groups of products are released each month. PPIs are
available for the products of virtually every industry in the
mining and manufacturing sectors of the U.S. economy. New
PPIs are gradually being introduced for the products of
industries in the construction, trade, finance, and services
sectors of the economy.
More than 100,000 price quotations per month are
organized into three sets of PPIs: (1) Stage-of-processing
indexes, (2) commodity indexes, and (3) indexes for the net
output of industries and their products. The stage-ofprocessing structure organizes products by class of buyer and
degree of fabrication. The commodity structure organizes
products by similarity of end use or material composition.
The entire output of various industries is sampled to derive
price indexes for the net output of industries and their
products.
The commodity classification structure of the PPI
organizes goods and services by similarity of material
composition or end use, disregarding their industry of origin.
Table 6 of the PPI Detailed Report includes data for
commodity indexes, organized in a hierarchal structure,
including major commodity groupings (two-digit commodity
codes), subgroups (three-digit codes), product classes (fourdigit codes), subproduct classes (five- and six-digit codes),
item groupings (seven-digit codes) and individual items
(eight-, nine-, and ten-digit codes).
Industry Net-Output Price Indexes
PPIs for the net output of industries and their
products are grouped according to the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS). Prior to the release
of January 2004, industry-based PPIs were published
according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
system. Industry price indexes are compatible with other
economic time series organized by industry, such as data on
employment, wages, and productivity. Table 5 of the PPI
Detailed Report includes data for NAICS industries and
industry groups (3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-digit codes), Census product
classes (7- and 8-digit codes), products (9-digit codes), and
more detailed subproducts (11-digit codes), and, for some
industries, indexes for other sources of revenue.
Indexes may represent one of three kinds of product
categories. Every industry has primary product indexes to
show changes in prices received by establishments classified
in the industry for products made primarily, but not
necessarily exclusively, by that industry. The industry
classification of an establishment is determined by which
products make up a plurality of its total shipment value. In
addition, most industries have secondary product indexes that
show changes in prices received by establishments classified
in the industry for products chiefly made in some other
industry. Finally, some industries have miscellaneous receipts
indexes to show price changes in other sources of revenue
received by establishments within the industry that are not
derived from sales of their products—for example, resales of
purchased materials, or revenues from parking lots owned by a
manufacturing plant.
Stage-of-Processing Indexes
Within the stage-of-processing system, finished
goods are commodities that will not undergo further
processing and are ready for sale to the final-demand user,
either an individual consumer or business firm. Consumer
foods include unprocessed foods such as eggs and fresh
vegetables, as well as processed foods such as bakery products
and meats. Other finished consumer goods include durable
goods such as automobiles, household furniture, and
appliances, as well as nondurable goods such as apparel and
home heating oil. Capital equipment includes durable goods
such as heavy motor trucks, tractors, and machine tools.
The stage-of-processing category for intermediate
materials, supplies, and components consists partly of
commodities that have been processed but require further
processing. Examples of such semifinished goods include
flour, cotton yarn, steel mill products, and lumber. The
intermediate goods category also encompasses nondurable,
physically complete items purchased by business firms as
inputs for their operations. Examples include diesel fuel, belts
and belting, paper boxes, and fertilizers.
Crude materials for further processing are products
entering the market for the first time that have not been
manufactured or fabricated and that are not sold directly to
consumers. Crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs include items
such as grains and livestock. Examples of crude nonfood
materials include raw cotton, crude petroleum, coal, hides and
skins, and iron and steel scrap.
Data Collection
PPIs are based on selling prices reported by
establishments of all sizes selected by probability sampling,
with the probability of selection proportionate to size.
Individual items and transaction terms from these firms also
are chosen by probability proportionate to size. BLS strongly
encourages cooperating companies to supply actual
transaction prices at the time of shipment to minimize the use
of list prices. Prices submitted by survey respondents are
effective on the Tuesday of the week containing the 13th day
of the month. This survey is conducted primarily through the
mail.
11
Price data are provided on a voluntary and
confidential basis; only sworn BLS employees are allowed
access to individual company price reports. BLS publishes
price indexes instead of actual prices. All PPIs are subject to
revision 4 months after original publication to reflect the
availability of late reports and corrections by respondents.
BLS periodically updates the PPI sample of survey
respondents to better reflect current conditions when the
structure, membership, technology, or product mix of an
industry shifts significantly and to spread reporting burden
among smaller firms. Results of these resampling efforts are
incorporated into the PPI with the release of data for January
and July.
As part of an ongoing effort to expand coverage to
sectors of the economy other than mining and manufacturing,
an increasing number of service sector industries have been
introduced into the PPI. The following list of recently
introduced industries includes the month and year in which an
article describing the industry’s content appeared in the PPI
Detailed Report.

Weights
Weights for most traditional commodity groupings of
the PPI, as well as weights for commodity-based aggregate
indexes calculated using traditional commodity groupings,
such as stage-of-processing indexes, currently reflect 2002
values of shipments as reported in the Census of Manufactures
and other sources. From January 2002 through December
12
2006, PPI weights were derived from 1997 shipment values.
Industry indexes now are calculated with 2002 weights and net
output ratios. This periodic update of the value weights used
to calculate the PPI is done to more accurately reflect changes
in production and marketing patterns in the economy. Net
output values of shipments are used as weights for industry
indexes. Net output values refer to the value of shipments
from establishments within the industry to buyers outside the
industry. However, weights for commodity price indexes are
based on gross shipment values, including values of shipments
between establishments within the same industry. As a result,
broad commodity grouping indexes, such as the PPI for All
Commodities (which is comprised of major commodity
groupings 01 through 15), are affected by the multiple
counting of price change at successive stages of processing,
which can lead to exaggerated or misleading signals about
inflation. Stage-of-processing indexes partially correct for this
defect, but industry indexes consistently correct for this at all
levels of aggregation. Therefore, industry and stage-ofprocessing indexes are more appropriate than broad
commodity groupings for economic analysis of general price
trends.

Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data
Because price data are used for different purposes by
different groups, BLS publishes seasonally adjusted and
unadjusted changes each month. Seasonally adjusted data are
preferred for analyzing general price trends in the
economy because these data eliminate the effect of changes
that normally occur at about the same time, and in about the
same magnitude, every year—such as price movements
resulting from normal weather patterns, regular production
and marketing cycles, model changeovers, seasonal discounts,
and holidays. For these reasons, seasonally adjusted data
more clearly reveal underlying cyclical trends. Unadjusted
data are of primary interest to users who need information that
can be related to actual dollar values of transactions.
Individuals requiring this information include marketing
specialists, purchasing agents, budget and cost analysts,
contract specialists, and commodity traders.
It is the
unadjusted data that are generally cited when escalating longterm contracts such as purchasing agreements or real estate
leases. For more information, see Escalation and Producer
Price Indexes: A Guide for Contracting Parties, BLS Report

In 1998, the PPI implemented the X-12-ARIMA
Seasonal Adjustment Method; prior to that year, the PPI
employed the X-11 method. Each year, the seasonal status of
most commodity indexes is reevaluated to reflect more recent
price behavior. Industry net output indexes are not seasonally
adjusted. For time series that exhibit seasonal pricing patterns,
new seasonal factors are estimated and applied to the
unadjusted data for the previous 5 years. These updated
seasonally adjusted indexes replace the most recent 5 years of
seasonal data.
Seasonal factors may be applied to series using either
a direct or an aggregative method. Generally, commodity
indexes are seasonally adjusted using direct seasonal
adjustment, which produces a more complete elimination of
seasonal movements than does the aggregative method.
However, the direct seasonal adjustment process may not yield
figures that possess additive consistency. Thus, a seasonally
adjusted index for a broad category that is directly adjusted
may not be logically consistent with all seasonally adjusted
indexes for its components. Seasonal movements for stage-of-
Price Index Reference Base
Effective with publication of January 1988 data,
many important PPI series (including stage-of-processing
groupings and most commodity groups and individual items)
were placed on a new reference base, 1982 = 100. From
1971 through 1987, the standard reference base for most PPI
series was 1967 = 100. Except for rounding differences, the
shift to the new reference base did not alter any previously
published percent changes for affected PPI series. (See
“Calculating Index Changes,” below.) The 1982 reference
base is not used for commodity indexes with a base later than
December 1981 or for industry net output indexes and their
products.
For further information on the underlying concepts
and methodology of the Producer Price Index, see chapter 14,
“Producer Prices,” in BLS Handbook of Methods (April
1997), Bulletin 2490. This document can be downloaded from
the

Calculating Index Changes
Each PPI measures price changes from a reference
period that equals 100.0. An increase of 5.5 percent from the
reference period in the Finished Goods Price Index, for
example, is shown as 105.5. This change also can be
expressed in dollars, as follows: prices received by domestic
producers of a sample of finished goods have risen from $100
in 1982 to $105.50. Likewise, a current index of 90.0 would
indicate that prices received by producers of finished goods
are 10 percent lower than they were in 1982.
Movements of price indexes from one month to
another are usually expressed as percent changes, rather than
as changes in index points. Index point changes are affected
by the level of the index in relation to its base period, whereas
13
processing indexes are derived indirectly through an
aggregative method that combines movements of a wide
variety of subproduct class (six-digit) series.
Seasonally adjusted indexes can become problematic
when previously stable and predictable price patterns abruptly
change. If the new pattern persists, the seasonal adjustment
method will eventually reflect it adequately; if the pattern
keeps shifting, however, seasonally adjusted data will become
chronically troublesome. This problem occurs relatively
infrequently for farm and food-related products, but has more
often affected manufactured products such as automobiles and
steel.
Since January 1988, the PPI has used Intervention
Analysis Seasonal Adjustment methods to enhance the
calculation of seasonal factors. With this technique, outlier
values that may distort the seasonal pattern are removed from
the data prior to applying the standard seasonal factor
estimation procedure. For example, a possible economic
cause for large price movements for petroleum-based products
might have been the Persian Gulf War. In this case,
intervention techniques allowed for better estimates of
seasonally adjusted data. On the whole, very few series have
required intervention. Out of over 800 seasonally adjusted
series, only 23 were subject to intervention in 2009.
For more information relating to seasonal adjustment
methods, see (1) “Appendix A: Seasonal Adjustment
Methodology at BLS,” in the BLS Handbook of Methods
(April 1997), Bulletin 2490 and (2) “Summary of Changes to
the PPI’s Seasonal Adjustment Methodology” in the January
1995 issue of Producer Price Indexes.

range and output options after executing the query,
using the reformat button above the data output table.
Producer Price Index Data on the Internet
In 1995, the BLS began posting PPI series, news
releases, and technical information to both a World Wide Web
(WWW) site and a file transfer protocol (FTP) site. During
the years following the introduction of PPI Internet services,
use of these sites eclipsed more traditional methods of data
dissemination, such as subscriptions to the PPI Detailed
Report. There were more than 2.1 million instances of PPI
series being downloaded from the Internet during the 12
months ended December 31, 2008.
One-Screen Data Search and Multi-Screen Data
Search are form-based query applications for both
Industry Data and Commodity Data designed for
users unfamiliar with the PPI coding structure. These
applications guide a user through the PPI
classification system by listing index titles and do not
require knowledge of commodity or industry codes.
Data retrieved are based on a query formulated by
selecting data characteristics from lists provided.
Two options are available to create customized
tables, depending on a user’s browser capability. The
one-screen option is a JavaScript application that uses
a single screen to guide a user through the available
time series data. The second option is a multiplescreen, non-Java-based application. Both methods
allow a user to browse the PPI coding structure and
select multiple series codes. Users can modify the
date range and output options after executing the
query using the reformat button above the data output
table.
•
Series Report is a form-based application that uses
formatted PPI time series identifiers (commodity or
industry codes) as input in extracting data according
to a specified set of date ranges and output options.
This application provides the most efficient path for
users who are familiar with the format of PPI time
series identifiers. Up to 300 indexes can be extracted
at a time.
There are five alphabetic prefixes used to
create unique PPI time series identifiers: WP, WD,
PC, PD, and ND. Each provides the user access to a
different PPI database. Adding either a “u” (not
seasonally adjusted) or an “s” (seasonally adjusted) to
the end of these prefixes further specifies the type of
data needed.
EXAMPLES
Retrieving PPI data from the PPI Web site
For commodity and stage-of-processing indexes,
series identifiers combine a “wpu” prefix (not
seasonally adjusted) or a “wps” prefix (seasonally
adjusted) with a commodity code.
PPI data can be obtained from the WWW address
(www.bls.gov/ppi). Clicking on the “PPI Databases” link
reveals the following methods of data retrieval:

1 Indexes in this table are derived from the net-output-weighted industry price indexes. Because of differences in coverage and aggregation methodology, they will generally not match the
movements of similarly titled indexes which are derived from traditional commodity groupings.
2 The indexes for September 2009 have been recalculated to incorporate late reports and corrections by respondents. All indexes are subject to revision 4 months after original publication.
