Import prices in the U.S. saw further upside in June, according to a report released by the Labor Department on Friday. The Labor Department said import prices rose by 0.3% in June after jumping by 1.7% in May. The report also said the annual rate of growth by imports accelerated from 6.7% in May to 7.1% in June, reflecting the largest over-the-year increase since August 2022.

The monthly increase in import prices came as prices for non-fuel prices rose by 0.4% in June after climbing by 0.7% in May. The Labor Department said higher prices for non-fuel industrial supplies and materials, capital goods, and consumer goods more than offset lower prices for automotive vehicles, parts, and engines, as well as foods, feeds, and beverages. A pullback in prices for imported petroleum helped limit the upside, with prices for fuel imports falling by 0.4% in June after soaring by 12.6% in May.

The Labor Department also said the annual rate of growth in export prices slowed from 11.2% in May to 10.2% in June. While prices for agricultural exports edged up by 0.2% in June after increasing by 0.9% in May, prices for non-agricultural exports fell by 0.7% in June after jumping by 1.2% in May. 07/17/2026 - 09:26:00 (RTTNews)
