The price of natural gas on the European market (TTF) also fell month on month (‑1.3% after ‑1.1%), averaging €31.9/MWh; year on year, it decreased by 21.0%. Lastly, the price of uranium in euros continued to increase over one month (+2.8% after +5.7%), but remained down year on year (‑10.0%).

Prices in euros of industrial raw materials accelerated again
In October 2025, prices in euros of industrial raw materials accelerated again month on month (+5.9% after +2.6% in September). Over one year, they were up by 4.0%.
Prices of mineral materials increased again (+6.6% after +3.5%). Prices of non-ferrous metals accelerated (+6.4% after +1.9%). Prices of precious metals continued to accelerate sharply (+13.1% after +8.5%), mainly due to the rise in the price of gold, and those of ferrous metals continued their rise for the fourth consecutive month (+1.1% after +2.2 %). Year on year, mineral material prices went up by 6.4%, driven by the sharp increase in the prices of precious metals (+41.0%).
Prices of agro-industrial raw materials bounced back slightly (+0.7% after ‑3.2%). Prices of sawn softwood bounced back (+7.9% after ‑10.3%). Prices for natural textile fibres increased again (+1.3% after +1.9%). On the contrary, prices for hides fell back (‑4.3% after +3.0%), those of paper pulp continued to decrease (‑1.5% after ‑3.1%), as well as those of tropical sawn wood (‑0.3% after ‑0.4%). Those of rubber were almost stable (‑0.1% after +1.4%). Year on year, prices of agro-industrial raw materials fell by 11.0%, mainly because of the decline in the prices for paper pulp (‑21.3%) and natural rubber (‑19.2%).

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.
