It was the fourth consecutive monthly decrease and the largest decline since December 2008, mainly due to lower prices for refined petroleum products (-25.4 percent), largely the result of an excess supply of petroleum, combined with falling global demand for such products. Prices also were down for chemicals and chemical products (-3.2 percent), namely petrochemicals (-25.4 percent) such as aromatic hydrocarbon gases (-44.9 percent),.

Canada Producer Prices Fall the Most in 9 Months
The industrial product price Index (IPPI) in Canada went down 0.9 percent month-over-month in March of 2020, following a 0.5 percent fall in the previous month and compared with market consensus of a 1.7 percent slump.

Year-on-year, producer prices were down 2.4 percent, after dropping 0.3 percent in the previous month.
