Import fuel prices declined 6.6 percent from June 2018 to June 2019. Prices for nonfuel imports declined 1.4 percent over that period, the same over-the-year decline recorded in May 2019. The decline was primarily driven by decreasing prices for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials.   

In June 2019, nonagricultural export prices declined 1.6 percent over the year, the largest 12-month drop since prices fell 2.3 percent for the year ended in August 2016. The decrease over the past 12 months was led by lower prices for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials. Agricultural export prices fell 1.9 percent from June 2018 to June 2019.

These data are from the International Price program. Import and export prices are subject to revision.
