CURRENT TRENDS
reliminary data for the July 2013
CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI; top;
the most recent available) indicate
that the composite index decreased
by 0.1% from the final June value.
The value for the Equipment subindex
fell, while those for the
Construction Labor, Buildings and
Engineering & Supervision subindexes
all rose by modest margins
from the June numbers. The July
2013 preliminary PCI index value
stands at 3.1% lower than the corresponding
final PCI value from
July 2012. Meanwhile, the latest
Current Business Indicators from
IHS Global Insight (middle) were
generally similar to the values from
the previous month, with some values
maintaining the same value
as the previous month and others
increasing slightly.
