he March 2016 preliminary value for the CE Plant Plant Cost Index Index (CEPCI; top; the most recent available) stayed even with the value from the previous month, with the Construction Labor, Buildings and Engineering & Supervision subindices all rising, while the Equipment subindex dipped slightly. The preliminary March 2016 CEPCI value is 6.1% lower than the corresponding value from March last year. This is again a smaller yearover-year difference than in the preceding several months. Meanwhile, the latest Current Business Indicators (CBI; middle) for April 2016 showed small decreases in the CPI output index and the CPI operating rate compared to the previous month. Producer prices edged higher in April, after a series of recent recent decreases.
