US Import Prices Rise Modestly in Two Months to November
US import prices increased 0.4% over the two months through November 2025, reversing revised declines in August and September, according to delayed data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Separate figures for October and November were unavailable due to last fall’s federal government shutdown. Over the two-month period, nonfuel import prices rose 0.6%, while fuel import prices fell 2.5%.
