U.S. import price index falls 0.1% in September
The U.S. Labor Department released its import and export prices data on Friday. The U.S. import price index fell by 0.1% in September, beating expectations for a 0.5% decrease, after a 1.6% decline in August. August's figure was revised down from a 1.8% drop.
The decline was mainly driven by lower prices on foods, capital goods and nonfuel industrial supplies.
