How the reading is calculated Reported values use Channel One / Citi published observations and their stated selling units. Fuel entries identify GOIL; cement identifies grade 32.5R. The headline and category readings use the median movement of reported entries only. Indicative placeholders are excluded from readings. Months without a supported observation are left missing. These monthly observations are not live quotes.
Before you budget on these numbers Prices vary by market, seller, quality and quantity. Figures are for orientation only and are not an offer, a valuation or an official price list. 5 of 21 items in this basket are still indicative placeholders, labelled in the table above.

Source reports

Reported figures follow the source's units and grade. Illustrative entries are excluded from headline and category readings.
