Manufactured product prices fall 0.7% in June

Lower petroleum prices outweighed continued gains in the non-oil index.

Manufactured product prices declined 0.7% MoM in June, following a 0.2% decrease in May, according to the Department of Statistics.

The oil index fell 10.4%, extending the previous month’s 10% decline, mainly due to lower prices of petroleum and petroleum products.

In contrast, the non-oil index rose 1.1% after increasing 1.8% in May.

Machinery and transport equipment was the main contributor to the monthly non-oil increase, rising 3.9% due to higher prices of electrical machinery apparatus.

The gain was partly offset by a 9.1% decline in chemicals and chemical products, driven by weaker organic chemical prices.

On a year-on-year basis, the Singapore Manufactured Products Price Index rose 31.1% in June, slightly higher than the 30.9% increase recorded in May.

The oil index increased 36.4%, although growth moderated from 59.3% in May. Non-oil prices rose 30.3%, accelerating from 26.8.

Machinery and transport equipment led the annual non-oil increase, climbing 39.7% on higher electrical machinery apparatus prices.

Meanwhile, the Domestic Supply Price Index fell 2.5% MoM in June, following a 2% decline in May.

The oil component decreased 11.6%, whilst the non-oil index rose 1.3%.

Domestic supply prices remained 30.3% higher than a year earlier, although growth slowed from 34.1% in May. Oil prices increased 46.9%, whilst non-oil prices rose 25.1%.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
