Oil and gas prices decreased
In August 2025, the decline in price in dollars of North Sea crude oil (Brent) deepened (‑4.4% after ‑0.6% in July), averaging $67.9 per barrel. In euros, the fall was a little less marked (‑4.0% after ‑1.9%), due to the depreciation of the euro against the dollar over the period. Over the past year, the price per barrel plummeted, in dollars (‑15.5%) as well as in euros (‑20.0%).
The price of natural gas on the European market (TTF) continued to decrease month on month (‑3.7% after ‑7.4%), averaging €32.7/MWh; year on year, it decreased by 14.7%. Lastly, the price of uranium in euros bounced slightly back over one month (+0.7% after ‑2.7%), and remained sharply down year on year (‑14.6%).

Prices in euros of industrial raw materials increased again
In August 2025, prices in euros of industrial raw materials increased again month on month (+0.4% after +0.9% in July). Over one year, they were up 2.7%, mainly due to the rise in the prices of precious metals, particularly gold.
Prices of mineral materials rose again (+0.7% after +1.0%). Prices of ferrous metals continued to increase (+2.6% after +3.2%), and those of precious metals bounced back slightly (+0.7% after ‑0.1%). In contrast, non-ferrous metals prices fell back a little (‑0.2% after +0.4%). Year on year, mineral material prices increased by 4.1%, driven by the sharp increase in the prices of precious metals (+27.7%), and, in a lesser extend, of those of non-ferrous metals (+0.9%). Conversely, prices of ferrous metals decreased (‑5.0%).
Prices of agro-industrial raw materials decreased month on month (‑1.7% after ‑0.1%). Prices of sawn softwood fell back (‑3.9% after +4.0%) and they continued to decrease for paper pulp (‑1.5% after ‑1.9%), hides (‑1.0% after ‑3.1%) and tropical sawn wood (‑0.1% after ‑1.7%). On the contrary, prices for rubber increased again (+1.9% after +2.2%) and those for natural textile fibres bounced back slightly (+0.4% after ‑0.4%).Year on year, prices of agro-industrial raw materials fell by 5.6%, because of the decline in the prices for paper pulp (‑15.4%), hides (‑8.7%), natural rubber (‑7.4%), natural textile fibres (‑3.5%), as well as tropical sawn wood (‑1.6%); only sawn softwood prices were up (+14.4%).

For further information
The relevant time series and a user guide are available at the bottom of this page.
Crude oil: from 1986, the price of Brent gradually established as a representative reference price of European supplies.
Natural gas: TTF (futures contracts in the Netherlands) is considered as the benchmark market in Europe.
Uranium: the price monitored is that of triuranium octaoxide (U3O8) listed on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Energy: prices of energy are monthly averages.
Indices of non-energy raw materials imported by France: the indices calculated by INSEE are monthly averages of raw material prices, weighted by their share in the French imports of raw materials (2010 = 100).
Strategic materials for the industry: the list of strategic materials monitored is a non-exhaustive selection of raw materials with which the French industry is particularly dependent, especially with regard to the energy transition. This selection is based on the work of the French Geological and Mining Research Bureau (BRGM) on critical and strategic materials.
