ECONOMIC REPORT: Import prices fall 0.5% on lower energy bill; Non-fuel import prices up 0.8% in past year
By Rex Nutting, MarketWatch
Last Update: 8:30 AM ET Mar 15, 2006
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. import prices fell 0.5% in February as prices for petroleum and natural gas declined, the Labor Department said Wednesday.
Imported petroleum prices fell 0.7% in February after rising 6.9% in January. Imported natural gas prices plunged 18% in February.
Prices of imported foods also declined sharply during the month. Prices of imports excluding petroleum fell by 0.5%, the biggest decline in nearly two years.
Import prices rose a revised 1.4% in January. In the past 12 months, import prices are up 7.4%, down from 8.9% a month ago.
Import prices excluding fuels are up 0.8% in the past 12 months.
According to the MarketWatch survey, economists were expecting import prices to fall 0.4% in February.
Meanwhile, prices of U.S. exports were unchanged in February.
Agricultural export prices fell 1.1%. Prices of all other exports rose 0.1%.
In the past 12 months, export prices are up 2.6%.
The report shows few inflationary pressures are being imported except in the energy sector.
The Federal Reserve has boosted short-term rates 14 times in the past 20 months in a bid to keep a lid on inflationary pressures. The Fed is expected to raise its overnight lending rate to 4.75% later this month.
Prices of imported capital goods increased 0.2%, the first increase in 10 months. Prices of imported consumer goods were unchanged.
The picture was mixed for industrial materials. Prices of foods, feeds and beverages fell 1.7%, the biggest decline in four years.
Imported paper prices rose 1.3%, while unfinished metals prices rose 4.5%.
Finished metals prices fell 0.3%. Chemical prices rose 0.1%.
Import prices were relatively flat for most major U.S. trading partners, except Canada, where prices fell 2.1%, the largest drop in nearly three years. Prices of Mexican imports fell 1.2%
The U.S. government had been running a de facto weak dollar policy to encourage higher prices for imported goods, both to fight possible deflation and to strengthen the competitiveness of U.S.-made goods. After strengthening earlier in 2005, the dollar has weakened.
Prices from the European Union rose 0.4%.
Prices of Chinese and Japanese imports were unchanged. Prices of imports from the Pacific Rim nations rose 0.1%, the first increase in six months.
