EPI Index Shows Slight Increase in February

March 22, 2013

It was another month of stagnation for Electrical Marketing’s Electrical Price Index (EPI).

It was another month of stagnation for Electrical Marketing’s Electrical Price Index (EPI), as the Feb. 2013 data showed increases of 0.4% over Jan. 2013 and 0.4% over Feb. 2012. The only product category showing an increase of more than 1% for February was the air conditioners category at 1.5%. However, 15 categories had year-to-year changes (plus or minus) of at least 1%.

Note: All EPI series represent Global Insight aggregates of Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) producer price indices (PPIs). The revised data partly reflect redefinitions of specific PPIs by the BLS, but mostly reflect the rebenchmarking of all EPI price series to a 1997 base year. The four following EPI series have been affected by BLS redefinitions: boxes, conduit (fittings), nonmetallic conduit, and generators. Sources: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; Global Insight
