The Commodity Research Bureau's all commodities price index fell 2.1 percent month over month in February 2015. Contributing to the reduction were decreases in the indices for livestock (such as cattle and hogs), metals (such as copper, lead, and steel), and foodstuffs (such as sugar, corn, and butter). Since February 2014, the all commodities price index is down 9.7 percent, with the indices for livestock decreasing 10.2 percent, foodstuffs decreasing 9.0 percent, and metals declining 18.2 percent. The all commodities index continues to be well below its April 2011 peak level of 575.7.
