Article: One-Month Lag in Producer Price Indexes for Liquefied Petroleum Gas to Be Removed Effective with Data for July 2001.

Effective with the release of data for July 2001, the 1-month lag in the Producer Price Index (PPI) for Liquefied Petroleum Gas, commodity code 05-32, will be eliminated. Since 1971, the liquefied petroleum gas index has been calculated with prices that lag behind the index refference date by one month. For example, the PPI for January contains liquefied petroleum gas prices for December.

In order to eliminate this lag, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will utilize the natural gas liquids price data published by the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) to estimate the PPI. These data will be used in the first-released index for liquefied petroleum gas. As is ...
