Canada September producer prices up 0.4% on petroleum, autos

Oct 19 Producer prices in Canada grew by 0.4% in September from August on higher prices for energy and petroleum products, as well as motorized and recreational vehicles, Statistics Canada said on Thursday. Some of the price movements were attributable to the depreciating Canadian dollar.

The increase followed an upwardly revised 1.9% increase in August. Raw materials prices were up 3.5% in September, and were up 2.4% on the year.
