The 12-month change in the final demand services index has ranged from 1.6 percent to 1.9 percent over the past five months.
The 12-month change in the index for final demand goods decreased 0.4 percentage point from September 2014 (1.5 percent) to October 2014 (1.1 percent), the fourth consecutive decrease. The October decline in the final demand goods index was led by decreasing final demand energy prices.
