CURRENT TRENDS
The preliminary value for the CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI; top) for July
2020 (the most recent data available) increased compared to the previous month’s value, reversing a three-month period of decline. Three of the four major subindices — Equipment, Build-ings and Construction Labor — rose in July, offsetting a small decrease in the value for the July Engineering & Su-pervision subindex. The current CEPCI value sits at 1.8% lower than the cor-responding value from July of last year. Meanwhile, the Current Business Indi-cators (CBI; middle) showed increases for both the CPI Output Index and the CPI Operating Rate for August 2020. In addition, the CPI Value of Output rose in July 2020.

Starting in April 2007, several data series for labor and compressors were converted to accommodate series IDs discontinued by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Starting in March 2018, the data series for chemical industry special machinery was replaced because the series was discontinued by BLS (see Chem. Eng., April 2018, p. 76–77.)
