In the month, the price index for home sales was up 0.2%, while the index for export sales was down by 4.0%. Note that export producer price indices can be influenced by currency fluctuations. See Tables 1 and 2 and Figures 1 and 2.
The All Materials Index for construction products rose by 0.6% in the month and by 16.2% in the year. The Rough Timber (including plain sawn) category has seen large increases over the past two years. However these prices have reduced in recent months and the index is now 14.6% lower than this time last year. See Table 3.''
