Add plastic resins to the list of commodity groups where price inflation pressure is now rated as strong, according to Purchasingdata.com.


Latest breakdown for the 17 major commodity categories tracked monthly by purchasingdata.com:

Strong upward price pressure reported by buyers of plastic resins, aluminum, steel, copper and brass, fabricated metals, transportation and energy.
Moderate upward price pressure for molded plastics, semiconductors, passive electronic components, organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, and tooling.
Minor to zero inflation for paper, corrugated, and industrial machinery.
Deflation is still the dominant trend for computers
My comment: apparently computers are the only thing the govt counts? <ng>
