... while “other manufactured products” and food prices were unchanged .
The stabilization of “other manufactured products” prices (-0,1 %) is attributable to very moderate price increases, notably in repair and installation services (+0.2 %), and to a slight decline in chemical products, and basic metals and metal products prices (-0.3 % and -0.4 %, respectively), linked to the movement of raw material prices (nickel, aluminium, hydrocarbons, ... )
Food prices were unchanged (+0.1 %, following +0.3 % in October). This movement is attributable to seasonal and significant increases in meat prices (+2.5 % for processed and preserved meat) and a decline in prepared animal feeds (-1.5 %), linked to the decline in cereal prices.
