 PRODUCER PRICE INDEXES - FEBRUARY 2014


The Producer Price Index for final demand fell 0.1 percent in February, seasonally adjusted, the 
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. This decline followed advances of 0.2 percent in 
January and 0.1 percent in December. On an unadjusted basis, the index for final demand moved 
up 0.9 percent for the 12 months ended in February, the smallest 12-month rise since a 0.9-
percent increase in May 2013. 

In February, the 0.1-percent decrease in final demand prices can be traced to the index for final 
demand services, which fell 0.3 percent. In contrast, prices for final demand goods advanced 0.4 
percent.

Within intermediate demand, the index for processed goods climbed 0.7 percent, prices for 
unprocessed goods jumped 5.7 percent, and the index for services rose 0.2 percent.
