FX.co ★ US Export Prices Rise for 3rd Month

In August 2025, export prices in the United States experienced a 0.3% increase from the previous month, mirroring the rise seen in July and surpassing expectations of a flat result. The increase was driven by nonagricultural export prices, which also grew by 0.3%, with notable upticks in the costs of consumer goods, nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials, capital goods, and automotive vehicles. Agricultural export prices remained stable, despite a rise in fruit prices that countered declines in nuts and soybeans. Annually, export prices climbed by 3.4%, marking the highest yearly growth since December 2022. While the BLS index of export prices does not account for tariffs imposed by other countries, it may still indirectly capture their effects as reflected in market behavior changes.
