Prefatory Note
The attached document represents the most complete and accurate version
available based on original copies culled from the files of the FOMC Secretariat at the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This electronic document was
created through a comprehensive digitization process which included identifying the bestpreserved paper copies, scanning those copies, 1 and then making the scanned versions
text-searchable. 2 Though a stringent quality assurance process was employed, some
imperfections may remain.
Please note that this document may contain occasional gaps in the text. These
gaps are the result of a redaction process that removed information obtained on a
confidential basis. All redacted passages are exempt from disclosure under applicable
provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.
1
In some cases, original copies needed to be photocopied before being scanned into electronic format. All
scanned images were deskewed (to remove the effects of printer- and scanner-introduced tilting) and lightly
cleaned (to remove dark spots caused by staple holes, hole punches, and other blemishes caused after initial
printing).
2
A two-step process was used. An advanced optimal character recognition computer program (OCR) first
created electronic text from the document image. Where the OCR results were inconclusive, staff checked
and corrected the text as necessary. Please note that the numbers and text in charts and tables were not
reliably recognized by the OCR process and were not checked or corrected by staff.

The Domestic Nonfinancial Economy
Producer Prices
The producer price index for finished goods declined 0.3 percent in April, after
having registered large increases in the previous two months. Energy prices
turned down last month, declining 4.1 percent, while food prices were up
1.0 percent. Outside of food and energy, the finished goods index increased
0.1 percent in April. Over the past twelve months, the core measure is up
1.3 percent, down a little from its 1.6 percent rate of rise in the previous twelvemonth period.
The downturn in energy prices followed two months of extremely large increases
and, for the most part, reflected the pass-through of declines in prices of crude
oil. Gasoline prices dropped back 11.7 percent last month while prices of
heating oil fell 14.0 percent. In contrast, natural gas prices moved up 1.6 percent
in April and have risen more than 10 percent over the past year. Despite last
month's decline, energy prices are almost 19 percent higher than twelve months
earlier, largely the result of the rise in oil prices over most of that period.
The increase in wholesale prices for finished foods largely reflected higher
prices for meats, poultry, and fish. In addition, the PPI for eggs rose sharply last
month, although weekly data indicate that prices have since retraced that run-up.
Over the past twelve months, finished food prices increased 2.8 percent
following a small decline over the previous twelve months.
Prices of core consumer goods edged up 0.1 percent in April. Prices of
passenger cars rose 0.4 percent, but prices of light trucks moved down a touch.
Tobacco prices were little changed for the second consecutive month. Over the
past twelve months, the PPI for core consumer goods rose 1.7 percent, down
about 1 percentage point from its year-earlier pace; this step-down reflects a
substantial deceleration in tobacco prices; excluding tobacco, core consumer
prices rose about 1 percent over the past year, roughly 1/ percentage point more
than their year-earlier pace.
Prices of capital goods rose 0.2 percent in April, as higher prices for cars, heavy
trucks, and assorted other items were only partly offset by a drop in computer
prices. In April, computer prices fell 2.4 percent, after an unusually small
decline in March; over the past year, the PPI for computers has fallen about
17 percent, a somewhat slower pace of decline than in the preceding year.
Overall prices of capital goods were up 0.7 percent over the past twelve months,
an acceleration of roughly 1/2 percentage point from the previous year's pace.

At earlier stages of processing, the PPI for intermediate goods excluding food
and energy rose 0.4 percent in April, continuing the steady string of increases
seen since early last year. These prices have risen 3.3 percent over the past year,
up noticeably from the 1.5 percent decline in the year-earlier period. Prices of
core crude goods declined 1.2 percent last month, following small declines in the
preceding two months; over the past year, however, these prices are up
15.4 percent.
Consumer Sentiment
According to the preliminary results, the Michigan Survey Research Center
index of consumer sentiment edged higher in early May. Respondents'
assessments of their current personal financial situations were markedly more
upbeat this month while their views on their expected finances one year from
now were unchanged. Expectations of future business conditions improved a bit
in early May and have now moved higher for the past two months following a
sharp drop in March. Appraisals of buying conditions for large household
appliances ticked down this month but still remained at a very positive level.
Among those questions not in the overall measure, the index of expected
unemployment change dropped five points in early May, suggesting a noticeable
improvement in views on the labor market over the next year. Appraisals of car
buying conditions edged higher this month. However, assessments of buying
conditions for homes fell sharply to the lowest level since June 1995, reflecting
less favorable views on interest rates and house prices. Indeed, the share of
respondents that felt that now was not a good time to buy because mortgage rates
were too high was 15 percent in early May. Last May, only three percent of
respondents felt that interest rates were too high.
Inflation expectations eased a bit in early May. The mean of expected inflation
over the next twelve months edged down 0.1 percentage point to 3.4 percent,
and the median dropped 1/4 percentage point to 2.9 percent. The mean of
expected inflation over the next five to ten years also ticked down 0.1 percentage
point this month to 3.1 percent while the median was unchanged at 2.8 percent.
Business Inventories
The book value of retail inventories rose at an annual rate of $18.2 billion in
March; excluding motor vehicles, retail inventories increased at an annual rate of
$12.4 billion. For the first quarter as a whole, non-auto retail inventories
accumulated at an $8.4 billion rate, down from a $27.8 billion pace in the fourth
quarter of 1999. With sales increasing 1.2 percent in March, the inventory-sales
ratio at non-auto retailers edged down to 1.33 months. This ratio has declined
substantially since early last year and is now at a very lean level by historical
standards.

The increase in non-auto retail stocks in March was concentrated at furniture
outlets and in the other durables category, a grouping that includes stores selling
sporting goods, toys, and jewelry. Sales at furniture and other durables stores
were relatively weak in March compared with their recent trends, and inventorysales ratios for both of these categories moved up. In contrast, stocks at general
merchandisers fell sharply in March.
Total manufacturing and trade inventories excluding auto dealers rose at an
annual rate of $34.4 billion in March, following a $79.9 billion increase in
February. With total non-vehicle shipments and sales up 1.4 percent in March,
the inventory-sales ratio for this aggregate fell to 1.28 months. For the first
quarter as a whole, total book-value manufacturing and trade inventories
excluding motor vehicles increased at an annual rate of $54.2 billion. This is
about $7 billion less than BEA had assumed when preparing the advance
estimate of first-quarter GDP. A lower-than-expected rate of stockbuilding by
manufacturers accounts for this difference. Today's retail inventory figures were
in line with what the BEA had assumed and with the staffs assumptions in the
May Greenbook.
U.S. International Transactions
Prices of Internationally Traded Goods
Oil. The price of imported oil (BLS) fell sharply in April following a small
decline in March. OPEC's decision in late March to increase production by
1.7 million barrels per day was the main factor driving down oil prices. After
having dropped an average of $4 per barrel in April, the spot price of West
Texas intermediate has recently moved back up to around $29 per barrel
following shipping delays in Norway and amid indications that OPEC may not
increase production further when the group meets in June.
Non-oil imports. Prices of imported non-oil goods, as well as prices of
imported "core" goods (which exclude oil, computers, and semiconductors),
increased only slightly in April following two months of stronger rises. Prices of
imported industrial supplies rose 0.1 percent in April after having recorded
substantially larger increases in February and March. Prices of imported
machinery (other than computers and semiconductors) rose marginally in April
following small declines in four of the past five months. The price indexes for
imported automotive products and consumer goods were unchanged from March
levels. Prices of imported computers declined for the fourth consecutive month
in April, while prices of imported semiconductors increased for the first time
since September.
-8Exports. Prices of total goods exports declined slightly in April following three
consecutive months of increases. For exported agricultural products, prices rose
for the fourth consecutive month. Prices of exported "core" goods (which
exclude agricultural products, computers, and semiconductors) declined in April
after having risen for the last thirteen months. A drop in the price of exported
industrial supplies (led primarily by lower prices for fuels) outweighed an
increase (for the fourth consecutive month) in the price of exported machinery.
The prices of computer exports declined for the fifth consecutive month, while
the price of semiconductor exports, like imports, increased for the first time
since September.
