(CEPCI; top; the most recent available)
declined again from the previous month,
driven by a relatively large decrease in
the Equipment subindex and small decreases
in the Buildings and Construction
Labor subindices. The Engineering
and Supervision subindex saw a small
increase in November. The preliminary
CEPCI value for November 2015 is 6.1%
lower than the corresponding value from
a year ago at the same time. Meanwhile,
the latest Current Business Indicators
(CBI; middle) numbers showed a decline
in the CPI output index, as well as
in the CPI value of output index and in
producer prices for industrial chemicals.
The productivity index was up slightly.
