US Trade Prices Signal Inflation Pressure 📊
New BLS data (Jan 15, 2026) shows rising price momentum in global trade:
🔹 Import prices: +0.4% (Sep–Nov 2025), +0.1% YoY
🔹 Export prices: +0.5% (2 months), +3.3% YoY
🔹 Fuel imports down sharply (-6.6% YoY), but non-fuel imports rising
🔹 Capital goods & semiconductors prices climbing
⚠️ Key takeaway: Goods inflation isn’t fully gone, especially outside energy. This keeps pressure on the Fed’s rate-cut expectations.
💡 Market watch: Trade price trends matter for USD strength, inflation outlook & risk assets (crypto included).
