Prices came from a monitored basket of 50 products and nearly 2,000 wholesalers, agents and dealers across 31 provincial-level areas. They are circulation wholesale and selling prices, not producer prices.

The same bulletin showed lithium iron phosphate down 1.9%. The methanol, LNG and lithium iron phosphate figures are observed market readings for 1–10 September, not current-price claims.
