U.S. import prices rose 0.2 percent in June, after rising 1.4 percent in May, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The June advance was driven by higher fuel prices which more than offset a decline in nonfuel prices. Prices for U.S. exports also increased in June, rising 0.8 percent following
advances of 1.2 percent in May and 0.4 percent in April.
