Excluding food, energy and trade services, seasonally adjusted prices for final demand rose 0.4% in January, the largest increase since a 0.5% gain in April 2017.

Prices for final demand services climbed 0.3% in January after slipping 0.1% in the prior month, while prices for final demand goods increased 0.7%, the sixth consecutive gain.

On an adjusted basis, the final demand index rose 2.7% for the 12 months ended in January, after a 2.6% annual increase in December 2017.
