Free AccessREPEAT:MNI DATA ANALYSIS: June US Import Prices Down 0.4%>
Repeats Story Initially Transmitted at 12:30 GMT Jul 13
--Import Prices Ex. Fuels Fall 0.3%, Ex-Petro Fall 0.3%
--Import Prices Up 4.3% Y/Y, Ex-Fuels Up 1.5% Y/Y
--Fuel Prices Fall 0.7%, Petroleum Fall 0.8%, Natural Gas Fall 6.0%
By Kevin Kastner, Shikha Dave, and Harrison Clarke
WASHINGTON (MNI) - Import prices fell by 0.4% in June, below the
flat reading expected and following a 0.9% rise in May, according to
data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Friday.
The data suggest imported inflation growth slowed after a strong
May gain, even as the threat of tariffs escalated. The data set is
likely to get more attention when the full effect of the tariffs can be
found in both the import and export price measures.
Overall fuel prices fell 0.7%, with petroleum prices down 0.8%, and
natural gas prices down 6.0%.
Import prices were down 0.3% excluding petroleum and were down
0.3% excluding all fuels. There were declines in every category except
industrial supplies outside of the energy components.
Overall import prices were up 4.3% year/year in June after a 4.5%
year/year gain the previous month. Prices excluding fuels were up 1.5%
year/year and prices excluding petroleum were up 1.4% year/year. Energy
prices are still leading the rise for imported inflation.
--PRICES FALL FROM MOST REGIONS
By region, prices for imports from most industrialized countries
were generally lower. Import prices from Canada fell 0.3%, but that was
entirely due to a 3.5% decline in non-manufacturing goods. Prices for
manufacturing goods from Canada rose 0.7%, and could rise further as the
impact of tariffs is seen.
There were declines in import prices from most other trading partners,
except the UK. Import prices from China were flat.
Total export prices rose 0.3% in June despite a 1.0% decline in
agricultural export prices. Export prices excluding agriculture saw a
0.4% increase. Export prices were up 5.3% from a year earlier, up from
the 4.9% year/year gain in May. Export prices excluding agriculture were
up 5.4% year/year, while agricultural prices were also up 5.4%
year/year.
