he July 2016 preliminary value for the
CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI; top; the
most recent available) was substantially
higher than the previous month's value,
reversing the small decrease from the
June CPI value. All four of the subindices
rose, with the largest increase observed
in the Equipment subindex. The preliminary
July 2016 CEPCI value is 2.0%
lower than the corresponding
value
from July of last year. Meanwhile, the
latest Current Business Indicators (CBI;
middle) for August 2016 showed a small
increase in the CPI output index compared
to the previous month. Producer
prices for industrial chemicals rose in
August, while the July value for the CPI
value of output index declined from the
previous month.
