This monthly drop of indicators value turned out to be the greatest since February 2010. Current decline of the index was driven mostly by decreased prices of energy products, which dropped by a monthly 2.5%. Energy products became cheaper worldwide due to low demand and concerns, regarding increased oil production in United States, to boost the global shipments in the coming years.
