The month-on-month Import Price Index measures the change in the prices of goods and services imported into the United States compared to the previous month. This data is released monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor and is important for evaluating trends in import prices.
Month-on-month data helps to understand how import prices have fluctuated over a short period. If prices are rising, import costs are increasing, potentially leading to higher inflationary pressures. Conversely, if prices are falling, import costs are decreasing, potentially reducing inflationary pressures.
This data serves as a reference for policymakers to assess inflation trends and formulate appropriate economic policies. Additionally, it is a valuable source of information for businesses and investors to understand import price trends and make economic forecasts.
