Electromechanical products jumped by 2.44%, largely fueled by a 4.91% surge in the cost of electrical equipment. Conversely, heating and cooling systems saw a slight decrease of 0.33%.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Key Category Performance (Annual Change):<\/b><\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"7\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Electromechanical Goods:<\/b> +2.44%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Wood, Insulation, Chemicals, &amp; Plastics:<\/b> +1.44%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Minerals:<\/b> +1.40%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Metal Products:<\/b> +0.46%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Mineral Products:<\/b> +0.04%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"9\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Diverging Trends in Metals and Minerals<\/b><\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10\">The raw materials market showed a mixed performance.
