Producer prices fell last month in Canada
OTTAWA--Producer prices in Canada eased in November, led by energy products, and Canadian companies paid slightly less for raw materials.
Excluding energy products, producer prices were unchanged on-month in November, the data agency said. The price of softwood lumber was down for a fourth consecutive month in November, in part a reflection of a cooling housing market in Canada and the U.S., and prices for motorized and recreational vehicles also slipped from October, the agency said. Prices rose for primary non-ferrous metal products, in part due to the appreciation of the Canadian currency against the U.S. dollar.
The raw materials price index, which tracks prices paid by manufacturers, was down 0.8% from October, driven by a fall in crude energy products that more than offset the largest month-over-month increase in prices for natural gas since the agency began measuring the index in 1980. Compared with a year earlier, prices for raw materials were up 8.0% in November.
