The June increase of 0.5 percent in the index for final demand goods follows a 0.2-percent decrease in May. Nearly 90 percent of the advance can be traced to prices for final demand energy, which climbed 2.1 percent in June.

Prices for final demand services increased 0.3 percent in June after falling 0.2 percent in May.

Prices for final demand trade services rose 0.2 percent. The index for final demand transportation and warehousing services increased 0.3 percent
