Core Insights - The overall price index for Linyi Mall in the current month is 102.18 points, reflecting a month-on-month increase of 0.17 points (0.17% rise), a year-on-year decrease of 1.75 points (1.68% drop), and a decline of 1.66 points (1.60% drop) compared to the beginning of the year [1]. Price Index Summary - Among 14 categories of goods, 8 categories saw price increases, 3 remained stable, and 3 experienced price declines. The top two categories with price increases are steel and ceramics, while the top two categories with price declines are clothing and daily necessities [3]. Steel Category - The monthly price index for steel is 95.96 points, with a month-on-month increase of 0.65 points. All subcategories, including construction steel, profiles, plates, and pipes, showed price increases. In November, steel prices fluctuated, with significant increases at the beginning of the month, followed by stability in the latter half. The rise in upstream raw material prices supported the cost side, leading to a slight increase in market steel prices. However, terminal demand remains weak, limiting the growth in sales volume [5]. Ceramics Category - The monthly price index for ceramics is 106.44 points, with a month-on-month increase of 0.58 points. The indices for sanitary ceramics and architectural ceramics increased by 2.41 points and 0.06 points, respectively, while daily ceramics saw a price decline. Seasonal changes and reduced construction activities have led to a seasonal sales slump for products like toilets and tiles. However, increased wedding activities and a recovering catering industry have boosted demand for daily ceramics, resulting in a slight increase in sales volume and revenue [7]. Clothing and Accessories Category - The monthly price index for clothing and accessories is 102.71 points, reflecting a month-on-month decrease of 0.21 points. Both clothing and accessories categories experienced declines of 0.43 points and 0.12 points, respectively. The market showed a "rise then fall" pattern in November, with strong demand for winter products in the first half of the month due to significant temperature drops. However, the early "Double Eleven" promotions drained consumer demand, leading to a decline in sales for children's and women's clothing in the latter half of the month [8][13]. Daily Necessities Category - The monthly price index for daily necessities is 102.77 points, with a month-on-month decrease of 0.04 points. Significant price drops were observed in bags, personal care and beauty products, and toys. The decline in prices is primarily driven by a notable drop in bag sales, while other categories like labor protection tools and kitchenware saw stable prices due to increased wholesale volumes [11].
