Consequently to an occasional drop of petroleum products international prices in May (-4.5 % for the Brent in euros), the prices of refined petroleum products had contrasted changes. Premium gas and fuel oil prices declined while kerosene and asphalt (and to a lesser extent gas oil) progressed.
… and the other energetic products recorded the seasonal drop of steam and hot water tariffs
Mining and quarrying, energy and water prices withdrew (-2.3 %), due to the seasonal drop of steam and hot water tariffs (-27.4 %), electricity and gaseous fuels through mains prices remaining stable this month.
Food products prices rised again
The rise of food products prices (+0.5 %) is almost general after three months of stability. The prices of processed and preserved meat increased (+1.4 %) thanks to seasonal rises, as well as those of dairy products (+1 %); wine prices, after two months of decline, recovered (+1.3 %).
The prices of computer, electronic, electrical equipment progressed as well
These marked increases, notably those of the electronic components (+4 %), were in line with the rises of raw materials prices and the change of the exchange rate between dollar and euro.
FOREIGN MARKETS: +0.5 %
On the external markets, the French producer prices rised by +0.5 %. The progresses were noticeable indeed for transport equipment (+0.7 %) and other manufactured products (+1.0 %). The withdrawal of refined petroleum products prices (-3.5 %), due to a different structure of products from the domestic market, limited very weakly these rises.
ALL MARKETS: +0.1 %
On all markets, the French producer prices were globally stable in May (+0.1 %). Year-to-year, the increase, drawn by the refined petroleum products (+45.3 %), is now notable for the other manufactured products (+2.6 %).
Import prices indices of industrial products: +0.0 %
In May, the prices of imported industrial products were flat: except for the purchaser price of crude petroleum and refined petroleum products, the prices of other products progressed consistently with the decline of the European currency.
