he preliminary value for the October
CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI; top;
the most recent available) edged slightly
higher than the previous month's value,
reversing the small decline since July.
The Equipment, Construction Labor
and Engineering & Supervision subindices
all ticked upward, offsetting a small
decrease in the Buildings subindex. The
preliminary October 2016 CEPCI value
stands at 0.7% lower than the corresponding
value from October 2015.
Meanwhile, the latest Current Business
Indicators (CBI; middle) for November
2016 showed a slight increase in the
CPI Output Index and the Productivity
Index. The October 2016 number
for CPI Value of Output also increased
compared to the previous month.
