Import Prices Decline while Export Prices Experience a Significant Drop

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has released the latest data on import and export price indexes for June 2023. The report reveals a mixed performance in the prices of imported and exported goods. While the price index for U.S. imports experienced a slight decline, export prices witnessed a significant drop during the same period. These developments reflect various factors, including changes in nonfuel and fuel prices, as well as fluctuations in agricultural and nonagricultural exports. Here is an overview of the key findings from the report.

Import prices have now fallen by 6.1 percent over the past year, representing the largest 12-month drop since May 2020.
