US Export Prices Unchanged in March

2025-04-15 12:35 By Agna Gabriel 1 min. read

Prices for US exports were unchanged in March 2025, as expected, following an upwardly revised 0.5% increase in February.

US export prices have not declined on a 1-month basis since September 2024.

Agricultural export prices were unchanged (vs 0.6% in February), as higher prices for soybeans offset lower prices for wheat and rice.

Nonagricultural export prices decreased 0.1%, the first decline in six months, as lower prices for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials and nonagricultural foods more than offset higher prices for capital goods, consumer goods, and automotive vehicles.

On a yearly basis, export prices climbed 2.4% in March, easing from a 2.6% advance in the previous month.

Export prices in the BLS index exclude tariffs but may still reflect their impact through market behavior changes.

US Export Prices Gain Traction
Prices of goods being exported from the United States inched higher by 0.3% from the previous month in December of 2025. From the previous year, prices of exported goods were 3.1% higher, inching down from the 3.2% increase in November to reflect the softest increase since July amid the half of data in selected months through the end of the year due to the US government shutdown. Despite the slowdown, the annual growth rate remained sharply higher than averages since late 2022 to reflect that US companies refrained from lowering their prices despite some retaliatory tariffs by the main US trading partners.
