Margins for final demand trade services moved up 0.4 percent over the year. (Margins for trade services are the difference between wholesalers’ and retailers’ selling price and purchase price of items.) Prices for final demand transportation and warehousing services fell 2.2 percent for the 12 months ending in January 2016. Prices for final demand services less trade, transportation, and warehousing rose 1.6 percent over the year.

The decrease over the year in final demand goods prices resulted from an 11.5-percent decline in prices for final demand energy goods and a 3.5-percent decline in final demand foods. Prices for final demand goods less foods and energy rose 0.6 percent over the year.

These data are from the Producer Price Indexes program. To learn more, see "Producer Price Indexes — January 2016" (HTML) (PDF). All producer price indexes are subject to revision once, 4 months after original publication; these revisions reflect late reports and corrections by respondents. Producer price indexes measure prices U.S. producers receive for goods, services, and construction.
