U.S. Import Price Index declined 0.2% in March
U.S. import prices declined 0.2 percent in March, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today, following increases in each of the 3 previous months. The March downturn was driven by lower fuel import prices which more than offset rising nonfuel prices. In contrast, the price index for U.S. exports increased 0.2 percent in March, after advancing 0.3 percent in February.
