FX.co ★ US Export Prices Rise More than Expected

Export prices in the United States experienced a 0.5% increase month-over-month in June 2025, reversing a previous 0.6% decline in May and surpassing analysts' expectations for stable pricing. Prices for nonagricultural exports saw a 0.5% rise, bolstered by increased costs for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials, consumer goods, and automotive vehicles, which more than compensated for the decline in capital goods prices. Meanwhile, agricultural export prices went up by 0.8%, spurred by rising prices for meat and soybeans, which offset the decrease in fruit prices. On an annual scale, export prices recorded a 2.8% rise. While the Bureau of Labor Statistics' index for export prices does not include tariffs, it may still capture their effects via shifts in market behavior.
