The U.S. Export Price Index rose 3.3% in April 2026 on a month‑over‑month basis, more than doubling the 1.6% increase recorded in March 2026, according to data updated on 14 May 2026. The figures highlight a notable acceleration in price growth for U.S. exports as spring began.
Measured on a month‑over‑month comparison, the “actual” April reading reflects the change from March to April, while the “previous” March figure captures the change from February to March. The sharp step‑up from 1.6% to 3.3% suggests strengthening price momentum for U.S. goods sold abroad over consecutive months in early 2026.
