Tenth District services, manufacturing activity show increases
Tenth District services activity, as well as manufacturing activity, rose in July, and expectations for future activity remained positive, according to joint releases from the Oklahoma City Federal Reserve late last week.
Indexes for input prices and selling prices continued increase from a month ago and a year ago, but slower than the record pace in recent months. Moving forward, firms expected input and selling prices to continue to rise over the next six months.
The index of prices paid for raw materials remained near record highs and the index of prices received for finished goods expanded again in July. Price indexes vs. a year ago posted record highs in July for the fourth straight month. In July, more district firms expected materials prices and finished goods prices to rise over the next six months.
